PORTLAND
Singing Circle: Friday, October 25, 6-9 PM. Private address.
So many of us have been hurt around our voices and are seeking healing. This three-hour singing circle hosted by Holistic Resistance is a space to receive emotional nourishment by disrupting the notion that we can not sing together, using collective singing as a healing modality to release distress and build the deep connections we need to fight systems of oppression and to dismantle racism.
Deep Dive: Anxiety and Resilience. Saturday, October 26, 1-6 PM. Private address.
Caring for your own anxiety and building resilience as white folks are two critical pieces of staying in anti-racism work for life. Anxiety can be an opt-out button for white folks, a reason for you not to do this work. Anti-racism can be an avenue for deeply healing your anxiety and trauma, and more deeply grounding your anxiety while doing this work can reduce harm to People of Color. This Deep Dive explores the critical topic of caring for your trauma and anxiety while doing anti-racism work and building connection with People of Color. We will build strategies for resilience for life-long social change.

We are offering a monthly group to gather with other white-identified folks that is:
-
A place to practice being in relationship and conflict; to relate in ways that help undo our internalized whiteness, including relating across difference.
-
A place to practice and notice the ways in which our own internalized white supremacy leads us to judge, enact comparisons, and other ways of creating fragmentation instead of solidarity
-
A place to real-time process our whiteness that arises in our group time together through relationship building, inquiry and togetherness.
-
A space that prepares us to be resilient, self-regulated and self-connected as we move into mixed-race spaces, in order to minimize harm on BIPOC and to stabilize our nervous systems to receive feedback from and center the experiences of black and brown folks, all of which are deeply necessary for true allyship.
-
A space to grieve, feel and move through what is living in our bones as trauma, colonial oppression, ancestral guilt, internalized racism and so much more.
-
A space to develop lifelong connections to each other that will support us to stay in this work, in community and solidarity and care.

Deep Dive: Critiquing Blackness. Wednesday, November 20, 4-9 PM. Private Location
Critiquing Blackness is one of the most important conversations for white folks to consider when doing racial justice work. As we reach for African Heritage folks in social justice work, part of that relationship is reevaluating how we give correction as white people. Every correction has an impact. And it’s a necessary part of reaching for blackness. In this deep dive, we are going to investigate what comes up in ourselves, the potential impact, and the after care for ourselves and for them. There are three categories we will discuss. Critique around money and the professional environment, the body, and sexuality.
Mini Deep Dive: Parenting: Tuesday November 19, 5:30-9 PM.

Caring for your own anxiety and building resilience as white folks are two critical pieces of staying in anti-racism work for life. Anxiety can be an opt-out button for white folks, a reason for you not to do this work. Anti-racism can be an avenue for deeply healing your anxiety and trauma, and more deeply grounding your anxiety while doing this work can reduce harm to People of Color. This Deep Dive explores the critical topic of caring for your trauma and anxiety while doing anti-racism work and building connection with People of Color. We will build strategies for resilience for life-long social change.
Questions we may explore:
1. How are touch and connection critical pieces of resilience?
2. What do you feel in your body when you feel anxiety? What do you feel in your body when your anxiety is released?
3. How do you ground yourself when conflict comes up around racism?
4. Where do you go to get connection around your experiences of racism?
5. How do you track your capacity for this work?
A deep dive has a maximum of eight participants with a minimum of two individuals. This event is about connecting and building bonds that dismantle racism. Having a small group can slow down how we see, hear, and reach for each other. A deep dive lasts for five hours. Breaks will be taken as needed. Participants are welcome to bring snacks and a full meal if desired. The team will consist of two African heritage facilitators with two white support allies.
