Introduction to Dismantling Racism from the Inside Out (DRIO) (in person and online)
Thursdays, January 23 and 30, 6:00pm-8:00pm
Join us for a two-part introduction to Dismantling Racism From the Inside Out (DRIO), a course and community of practice grounded in the Jewish spiritual tools of Mussar that supports participants in their practice to discover and heal implicit and internalized racism and other biases within ourselves and learn to encounter others who feel and believe differently than you. With the election behind us, these skills are needed now more than ever. Not only does this practice allow us to grow in our spiritual footing, but it empowers us to take meaningful action in the world.
Led by Rav Tiferet and Ellen Krause-Grosman, both trained through the Kirva Institute, participants will be introduced to the balance of care paradigm, and explore broadly applicable, practical skills to support TBZ members in strengthening their muscles to navigate an increasingly challenging reality to be our most effective selves in the world.
We hope these two nights of learning will be interesting and inspire you to continue on with the course. However, this day is open to everyone and does not commit you to the next sessions, which will be held over 5 Thursday evenings starting in February: 2/6, 2/20, 3/6, 3/20, and 4/3. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Rav Tiferet or Ellen Krause Grosman.
