Finding Freedom: White Women Taking on Our Own White Supremacy (Maine)
Mondays, October 16-November 13, 4-6:30pm
with facilitators Dani Wilson and Meg Stein
** This online 5-part workshop is open to white female, trans and genderqueer folks brought together by the Maine Environmental Education Association, Maine Math and Science Alliance, Southern Maine Conservation Collaborative, Maine Initiatives and The Ecology School.**
How does internalized white supremacy in my body, emotions, spirit and relationships keep me from bringing my full self to ending structural racism?
Finding Freedom is a workshop that aims to deepen our individual and collective understanding of how we as white women are complicit with white supremacy, how we can make changes to live more deeply and consistently into our racial justice commitments, and how we can move ourselves and other people in our networks to join the fight for racial, economic and gender justice right now.
The workshop will take place October 16, October 23, October 30, November 6, and November 13 from 4-6:30pm, with 1-2 hours of grounding activity between sessions (readings, connecting with other participants, or small action steps). Participants must attend Session 1 in order to participate in future sessions.
Is this workshop right for me?
All women and gender-nonconforming, non-binary and trans people, and all white and mixed-race folks, who are interested in exploring the intersection of white womanhood and white supremacy are welcome to join us. The categories of “white” or “woman” might not be exactly how you define yourself. This workshop may still be useful to you if you were socialized as a white female and/or you are perceived as one today.
This workshop focuses on United States history, context and current reality. People from outside the US are welcome to join us, as long as you understand we will be using a US-based frame.
What is the cost of the workshop?
The host organizations are excited to bring the workshop to Maine at a reduced price of $50 per person. Cost should never be a barrier to your participation and a limited number of free tickets are also available.
Typically, Finding Freedom is offered on a sliding scale from $50-$345 per person, depending on class background and current income. If you’d like to learn more about Finding Freedom’s standard pricing, check out our Workshop Pricing Options page.
