Question 2

Deep Dive: Anxiety and Resilience. Saturday, October 26, 1-6 PM. Private address. "

Accepted Answer

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. Sliding scale for the event from $250 to $650. Please contact holisticresistanceinfo@gmail.com.

Question 4

POC Deep Dive: Saturday November 2, 4-8 PM. Private address. "

Accepted Answer

Facilitated by Niema Lightseed, Porsha Beed,and Aaron Johnson.   Deep Dive for POC/POGM (People of the Global Majority) Description: This deep dive is built around people of color coming together as a disruption of the chronic patterns of scarcity and hurt we have when reaching for each other. For example, colorism and economics have historically been effective barriers that people of color often have to navigate in order to be close to each other. We want to be clear that we are committed to holding space for people of color who are white passing, and at the same time hold the complexity that comes up for folks with darker skin. In this deep dive, we want to track and hold the ways in which we’ve all been hurt. We will reach for each other through deep listening, questions, and music to remind us, as a mixed POC group, that these barriers can be dismantled. We deeply desire to live in a world where we can receive all of the support that we need within our own communities. This deep dive will center Blackness as a powerful model within white supremacy culture. By acknowledging how black people have been hurt, we also recognize how white supremacy has hurt all of us and pits us against each other. We believe that reaching for each other and building relationships is one of the most holistic resistant actions we can take and will be one of the most challenging things we will do in this work. Finding the courage to simply show up is a major disruption to systems of oppression. We are excited to begin this deep reach with you.   Access Note: Holistic Resistance is committed at every opportunity to offer resource to people of color without cost. We invite white people to support through reparations and donations to care for and meet the needs of our facilitators.   Contact holisticresistanceinfo@gmail.com for more info.
