Introducing Racial Sobriety
Monday, September 12
6:00 - 9:00 pm
A Workshop Facilitated by Sr. Teresa Rooney, CHF
and Lisa Collins
Men and Women of all faiths are welcome
This workshop offers a safe and comfortable place to begin the conversation about race. It deals with the three elements of talking about racism that bring on anxiety: fear, ignorance and guilt. The workshop facilitates a discussion that allows for a discovery of one's racial history and finding one's own voice in the conversation on racial issues.
Copies of the book Racial Sobriety: A Journey from Hurts to Healing by Clarence Earl Williams are being offered for sale at the discounted price of $15 through the Women's Center. Although entirely optional, you may want to read the book in preparation for attending the workshop.
