It took me 30+ years of willful negligence before I
admitted that I was racist... which prompted a long and painful
journey of reckoning with my addiction to whiteness and
recovering my humanity.
A white friend once said to me “but HOW could we have known?” She
was referring to how racism has been invisibilized by the
dominant culture, mass media, and our education system. 🫣 But how
could we have not known?
For those of us who have a college education, or have access to
books and google, or have the freedom to travel and move in the
world - HOW COULD WE POSSIBLY “NOT KNOW”?
Or did we know and choose to forget?
Knowing meant, we white people, taking responsibility for how
we’ve been complicit, how we’ve allowed whiteness to reign.
Knowing meant reckoning with how we’ve benefitted from such a
horrific and harmful system. And knowing compels us to do the
work.
“The work” I’m referring to here is healing ourselves and the
systems/culture we are a part of.
On an inner level, it is how we become self-aware about how we're
located in systems of domination, how we’ve been hooked and
shaped by its forces to be “a good” soldier, to excavate and
detox the limiting beliefs and behaviors that are alive in me and
to recover who I am behind all of this so that I can play my part
in healing the world that we are a part of. And the outer
practice is confronting everything in the way of our collective
thriving and doing our part to dismantle systems of separation
and supremacy and build a future that works for everyone.
This month we are creating space for practice and healing. Check
out what's coming up!

The call for white people to “do the work” is a serious
one. Not just because of the historical and present, pervasive
and persistent, embodied and systemic impact of white supremacy
on Black and Brown people, but because it threatens our
democracy, our planet and our humanity as a whole. White
supremacy is bad for all of us.
This intensive is designed for well-meaning white people who are
ready to reckon with how we’re implicated in the system of white
supremacy and what it's going to take to detox our body/mind and
heal our humanity.
