White Anti-racism Discussion Group

7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

The White Anti-racism Discussion Group will meet on zoom monthly for five months, usually on second Wednesdays, beginning in February

For access to the Zoom meetings, please email whiteanti-racism@usguu.org.

Find ways to stretch your understanding and use your imagination to radically transform your views of Blackness by reading The Darkness Divine. This collection of essays and poems by Kristen Harper will guide your path forward in discussing your views. Andrea Barsevick and Shobhi Kanal will lead the conversations using the book’s discussion questions.

Andrea and Shobhi write: Our intention as facilitators is to engage us all in an exploration that does not stay at an intellectual or cognitive level, but helps us connect to our hearts, souls, and unconscious. To that end, we’ll go slowly and use some guided meditative grounding exercises to help us all stay present and connect deeply with ourselves and with Rev. Harper’s poetry.
