Event Details:
This is an introduction to the Racial Healing Circle(RHC) methodology and circle practice. The Racial Healing Circle process helps to create a space that allows and encourages its participants to tell their diverse stories and to listen deeply to the stories of the other participants. The dialogue in these circles enables us to see our humanity and ourselves in others. When this occurs, trust is built, and that trust is a necessary component for the courageous dialogue that is needed to lead to the transformed policies and practices that we are trying to build within our school communities. Recommended circle maximum size is 16-20 participants, which is ideal for creating a space for participants to feel comfortable engaging with their full authentic selves. A portion of the day will also include a time to debrief. This is a 1 day PD. However, for those that enjoyed this experience and want to bring it back to their district, building, or classroom; you may schedule a time for the co-facilitators to come out and create a similar experience for your staff/colleagues by co-facilitating a racial healing circle with you and your group. This will help you to build the foundation for future circles you may have, with the same participants. Lunch will be provided (a dietary needs form will be sent to registrants). Cancellation Policy: Cancellations for this event are required by 02/21/2024 by 9am. Failure to do so will result in your district being charged for the event. All cancellations must be in writing by Email to crelyea@e1b.org. Phone calls are not accepted.
