Too often we are afraid to begin a conversation about race and racism because we have had a bad experience or feel that we will say something wrong or hurtful. This workshop is particularly exciting and satisfying because it allows everyone the opportunity to practice talking to someone who is different from themselves in a compassionate and honest way. Participants will learn that they are not alone in their fears and that all of us lack a “model” of how to begin this type of conversation. The most important ingredient is our sincerity and our willingness to learn and understand each other. We will practice sharing with one another through use of film, small group interactions, role plays and personal stories. Participants will learn to:
*Listen and respond from a Buddhist & Eastern Approach
*Notice the impact and intent of all our communications and actions
* Discover the importance of curiosity as a mediation tool
*Make use of non-verbal communications
* Use Mindful Techniques to de-escalate a conflict within minutes
*Ask 26 culturally-sensitive questions that create safety & trust
