The Humility Project (Live-Online)

Racism and White Privilege: 

A Facilitated Study Group

Are you seeking a safe place and guidance to honestly explore white privilege? We'll apply a Gestalt perspective to discover social, political and personal insights into this complex, multi-layered, emotionally charged topic. 


An opportunity to reflect and to act

This is designed as an opportunity for white people to explore white privilege in a setting that balances support and challenge. To read and understand the latest scholarship on systemic racism and to explore the inner, personal environment as well. 


The program is led by seasoned CCTP faculty member, Carol Brockmon, activist, anti-racism trainer, and Co-Founder of the Black Women's Health Project, Pamela Freeman, and Marcy Crary, a researcher/educator in diversity and cross-race work relationships.


Benefits

Participants will:

 

  • Read, watch, listen to and discuss current scholarship on racism
  • Explore personal life experiences and re-examine assumptions
  • Reflect on the impact of privilege and choices they make
  • Participate in engaging discussion, ultimately with the goal of greater understanding, change, and action
  • Learn the study-group structure to continue as a self-organized group at the end of six months at the group's discretion

 


Participants

This program is open to anyone seeking to explore systemic racism and white privilege in a setting that balances support and challenge.  Coaches, consultants, and other change agents, leaders, and professionals will find this orientation essential to working and living effectively in our culture today.

"This is not an easy or comfortable topic to explore, but it is absolutely critical. This program provided a safe space to explore and reflect through curated learning materials and facilitated discussions. The faculty and cohort were open, honest, and vulnerable as we all grappled with difficult questions and worked to gain enhanced awareness and identified ways to take action. What separated this program from others, for me, was the emphasis on the body and building awareness about my body's reactions to racial discomfort.”


2023-24 Program Participant

“The Humility Project was my first time engaging in the process of being non-racist in

community. and it was a safe and inviting space. I appreciated how often the facilitators brought our awareness back to our bodies. I now feel an opening to continue my work as a white ally.”
