Spiritual Exploration of Privilege, Racism, and Allyship – 4 Week Zoom Class

June 25, 2020 by admin

Spiritual Exploration of Privilege, Racism, and Allyship

Sponsored by: Unity Center for Spiritual Growth
Teacher: Rev Dr Ryan G Polly 

As spiritual people we have an obligation to lead with love. Over the past few weeks, we have watched the world respond to the murder of George Floyd. We may have participated in protests or started reading a book on anti-racism, yet, we know we could be doing more. When we become faced with our own privilege it can feel paralyzing as we try to discern what is our work to do and how we can move toward being an ally versus a savior. 

During this 4-week course, you will explore systemic racism and examine your role in both participating in it and dismantling it. You will take a deep dive into your own bias and privilege and you will walk away with action steps to truly show up as not only an ally but as someone who is anti-racist. We will also explore ways that Unity, as a community, can respond. 

When: (4) Thursday nights starting July 2 from 7:00pm to 8:30pm 

Where: Virtual using ZOOM… Registration Required
