The Race and Racial Justice Team will sponsor a two-day workshop on learning how to have courageous and caring conversations in multi-racial settings. The training will be held on two Saturdays, January 31 and February 7, 2026, from 10 am to 2 pm at the Meetinghouse. Shelli Brady and Jo Booker of Coming Together Virginia, one of RFM\u2019s partner organizations for 2025, will conduct the training.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Goals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 To increase your willingness to engage in conversations, especially about race, with people whose racial identity differs from your own<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 To know how to handle such conversations gracefully (without micro-aggressions)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 To accept that mistakes will be made and to learn to address errors with integrity and kindness<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 To be able to respond appropriately whether you committed a mistake or witnessed it<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Attendance in the workshops will be limited to 30 people. Registration is required. In accordance with the nature of deep, personal work and the request of the instructors, participants will be required to attend both sessions. There will not be a zoom option. We regret any inconvenience. You may sign up for the workshop on a list at the Meetinghouse\u00a0bulletin board\u00a0or by contacting Plum Cluverius.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
