LEARNING CIRCLES are small discussion cohorts based on a book or podcast that provide:

Important learning about white supremacy, racism, and our national history
The opportunity to build trust and go deep in small group discussions over time
A safe place to have difficult discussions and deal with discomfort
An opportunity to create and strengthen relationships with others
Connection, focus and purpose in a virtual setting

How Do LEARNING CIRCLES Work?

Each cohort (typically 4-12) gathers for a series (from 6-12 sessions) of facilitated Zoom discussions.
Register for specific Learning Circle(s). Meeting dates & times vary.
Everyone is given the opportunity to share reactions, then discuss as a group
We ask that you plan to attend all sessions so we can build bonds of trust and insight
