Date/time:
Fri-Sun, September 24-26, 2010; Friday 2pm until Sunday 2pm
Let's Get Real: Unlearning Racism (Overnight) Retreat
Facilitator: Lee Mun Wah
There is so much that is unsaid in this country about race issues. In this
retreat we will explore a variety of ways to have this dialogue on race
and racism that will lead to a more intimate and honest conversation and
relationship with each other. This retreat is about confronting some of
the issues that keep us all from talking to one another about race/racism.
It is also about discovering new ways to begin that conversation, how to
create a bridge to talk about our differences, exploring what opens us up
and what closes us down, and finally, 101 ways to become Culturally
Competent in our relationships and workplaces.
Before we can truly become a multicultural nation, we must have a
relationship based on respect and understanding, reflection and curiosity;
where our differences and our similarities are embraced, valued and
integrated into the very fabric of our workplaces, communities, schools
and governmental institutions. What is required is an on-going dialogue
and relationship with each other. I hope that you will join us in making
this not only a better world for our children, but for ourselves - not by
starting tomorrow, but by beginning that conversation today.
Participants will learn:
* 9 Healthy Ways to Communicate
* 101 Ways to Become Culturally Competent
* 21 Statements That Stop A Diversity Conversation
* The Art of Listening & Responding Cross-Culturally
Please bring with you sleeping bags/overnight gear if you wish to spend
the night in our training center and/or on the property grounds.
