Transforming Unconscious Bias

… to Build Inclusive Spiritual Communities

We all hold unconscious biases, it’s a part of human nature. We can behave towards others in certain ways based on these biases. By excavating and deliberating choosing to neutralize them, we can reduce the instances where they adversely impact others when that is not other intention.

Every interaction we have and every decision we make are part of, or are, influenced by factors outside our scope of awareness. Building inclusive communities requires the disruption of inadvertent bias. Those impacted by bias may experience feeling discounted or excluded. Exclusion is antithetical to creating communities where folks feel valued, welcomed, accepted, and included.
