Unraveling Whiteness is a course that invites you into conversation and learning through the body with other white folks living into racial justice commitments.

“Kara and Nicole helped me to connect more with my body and to see and acknowledge all of the white supremacy characteristics inherent in me. They gave me excellent tools to try to counteract these and helped me to shape commitments to move forward. I highly recommend this class.”
— Jamie L.
This course invites you to explore the wisdom of your body and emotions as well as the scope of your imagination as equally important learning tools for addressing systemic racism alongside understanding terminology and an analysis of power.
Pre-recorded videos on themes for each session will be fodder for the experiential exercises in each live session, including a variety of paired and small group exercises.
Live sessions will allow for juicy intellectual, emotional, somatic and spiritual engagement with how white supremacy cultural habits show up in our lives despite our best efforts.
Invitations to begin unraveling the legacies of whiteness in our family lines and considering clear, concrete actions upon leaving the course will also be woven in.
The Work that Reconnects (WTR) Spiral forms the container in which the overall series is held and individual sessions are designed. WTR is a group of teachings, meditations, community exercises, and grounding practices, developed by Joanna Macy and others that are built around the belief that we are all interconnected beings in the web of life.
“This course has supported me to feel empowered to see myself and my resources as change-agents within the long-term work of dismantling white supremacy. Kara and Nicole facilitated a supportive space for conversation, ritual, trust-building, ancestry work, and imaginative play which was effective in being embodied in a variety of ways.”
