Comments:

  • This is the most intense, cohesive, and clear of anti-racist classes, books, movies I have experienced—with an emphasis on experience and deep-diving mentally and emotionally.
  • I’ve done other trainings in a variety of settings and was very appreciative of the approach that was taken with the retreat. While acknowledging many things it wasn’t a “blame game” and I don’t mean for that to be good for my feelings but more of an encouragement to sit with uncomfortable and then try to move forward. I feel that at other trainings (unrelated to this one) there was an emphasis on blame and it was not productive nor helpful.
