Healing From Racial Trauma

1.5 hour workshop for body, heart and mind (open to all)

About this Event

We have all been traumatized by the police killings, police brutality, destruction and chaos taking place in our country. While each of us has a unique history based on race, class, gender, and more, dealing with trauma is important for all of us to stay healthy and to continue working towards collective transformation.
This workshop builds on the concepts shared in the June 1 workshop, but anyone can join for the first time.
In this 1.5-hour workshop, racial healing expert Milagros Phillips will lead us through:

  • The role of trauma in destabilization
  • Where racial trauma lives in your body, regardless of the color of your skin
  • Treatments to settle the body and mind

Join us on Monday, June 8th 2020, as we treat mind, body, spirit and emotions. This workshop will build on what we did last week, but anyone can join for the first time this week. Upon registration, you will be sent an email with details.

3. Deepen and spread racial healing through Milagros’ books, 11 Reasons to Become Race Literate, 8 Essentials to a Race Conversation, Speaking Race in Healthcare, or books by other race healers like Resma Menachen (My Grandmother’s Hands) and Dr. Joy DeGruy (Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome).
4. Advocate for Race Equity Coaching in your workplace or Racial Healing in your community that goes beyond surface-level “diversity training” and gets at the root of the problem.
5. Let us know how we can support you by filling out this short survey. We collected your questions in the chat yesterday, and will do our best to incorporate them in next week’s workshop.
