White Awareness Sangha Study Group

4 week study course, in which we support each other to transform ancestral suffering and take steps on the path to inclusive sanghas where everyone can find a home.

SUNDAYS 17:30 – 19:15 BST FROM 6 OCT

key info

6 Oct 2024 - 6 Oct 2024

We have all been deeply hurt by the way our past and present society has categorised, separated, and limited us based on the illusion of  ‘race’.
.
As we support one another to experience our own relationship to this and deepen our understanding through compassionate listening and loving speech, we begin to embrace and transform the ancestral suffering within us and around us, and take steps on the path to inclusive sanghas where all people can find a home.

.

Study will include

– Content and study to reflect on our white identities, history and bias
– Practices to help reflect on our racial identity and the world around us
– A compassionate space to be in sharing together

Some short talks or readings will also be shared with you to engage with between sessions

Sundays: 6, 13, 20 Oct, and 3 Nov
17:30 – 19:15 BST
