Join us for the second series on Awakening to Whiteness. This orientation meeting is to give information and allow people to ask questions about participating in the series. No registration is required for this meeting.

In this program, we’ll be doing readings, listening to music and podcasts, and watching videos that help us better understand whiteness and our society that is structured on whiteness. Participants will learn to ground themselves in compassionate awareness as they seek to see themselves more clearly by learning about the history and implications of whiteness. Topics include How Whiteness Developed, A Historical and Structural Examination of Race, Portland and Oregon History, White Privilege, Applying our Spiritual Practice, and Continued Work.

We will meet once a month for six months, on the fourth Sunday from 4-6pm. Materials and an agenda will be supplied before each meeting, and you will engage and journal about them on your own. During meetings, you’ll share your responses to materials with a cohort. Ko’in and Reiju facilitate and the group is hosted by the DEI Committee. People of all races and backgrounds are welcome and everyone is encouraged to attend whether or not you have any prior experience working with race and whiteness. Registration for the program is now open and will close on January 4. Please contact for more information.  If you would like to register for the series, please use the form below.
