The Growing Anti-Racist Practitioner Series is a brave personal journey held within the support of a grounded community of dedicated peers and sincere practitioners. Each session we focus on building internal toolkits to foster external change. We do this by examining existing racial training (the messages/conditioning we have received and continue to receive regarding race in America), addressing how this training effects our interactions across difference, and retraining ourselves towards antiracism.

Our work together will uncover ourselves as authentic, non-performative, anti-racist practitioners. This transformative work is done in order to actively reduce harm and ensure more equitable healing spaces, health access, and therapies for the thriving of all people.

The Series includes:

~ 6 Live Zoom Classes

~ 2-3 Small Group Cohort Meetings

~ 1:1:1 Private Session with Lo and Reya for each participant

Name and navigate areas of potential harm or mistranslation, as well as common systemic shortcomings within professional practices, in order to build more equitable alternatives.

Together, we will…

  • analyze whiteness

  • discuss power differentials embedded within our professions

  • identify implicit bias

  • practice interrupting racial conditioning with somatic/body-centric practices

  • emphasize racial literacy and normalize authentic action

    Do No Harm

Apply these learnings to create safer and more culturally responsible practices that serve more people better, and align with the oath to Do No Harm.

We become better able to…

  • respond rather than react to racial charge

  • discover your authentic action

  • interrupt bias, and counter whiteness

  • reorganize your personal and professional life to reflect anti-racist framework/ideals, practices

  • connect with the internal and external resources needed to sustain this work

From Lauren Kite, ReCenter Facilitator, on the importance of Anti-Racist Practitioners…

“To recognize and commit to the necessity of anti-racist values requires a deeper investigation into our own, often unconsciously held, racial/cultural biases. This is not only essential for reducing the harm so often incurred by minoritized communities, but also serves to position practitioners responsibly within their traditions – which often have non-European/American origins. Too often there is great disconnect between the intention to “help” or “be of service”, and the impact on those we aim to serve.”
