• NEW UNtraining White Liberal Racism Groups - Coming October 2025

  • When
    05 Oct 2025
  • Location
    Online & In-Person (SF Bay Area, location TBD)

  Challenge White Supremacy in Community

  Calling activists, teachers, artists, and caring people who want to co-create a world rooted in social justice! The UNtraining is a deep examination of how white cultural conditioning interferes with our ability to connect deeply with ourselves and others and keeps us from being effective change agents and advocates for racial justice. Through heartfelt connection, deep internal inquiry, facilitated group exploration, and liberation practices, we face white supremacy culture head-on so that we can develop the inner resources, awareness, skills, and courage needed to meet this critical moment. 

  Two groups for white-identified people will be offered starting in October.  Both groups offer six required sessions:

  • Join from anywhere! Group A meets monthly online on Sundays over six months. Taught by Mollie Critttenden & Kristen Gardner
  • NEW Phase 1 INTENSIVE (Group B) meets in person on Saturday & Sunday over three months in the San Francisco Bay Area. Taught by Mari Amend & Janet Carter

  The application deadline for both groups is September 1.

  This group is available to people who have completed Phase 1 and been invited to participate in Phase 2. 

  In Phase 2, we’re working on deeper social conditioning, the emotional parts that are more embodied and defended.  In Phase 2, we ask:

  • What do you allow yourself to feel and express?

  • How does this affect how you relate to yourself and others?

  • How does our relationship to our emotions as white people support the structure of white supremacy?

  • How can we expand our capacity to engage more fully with ourselves and others around what we really care about?

  When we become aware of how we've been conditioned to suppress and regulate levels of intensity in our bodies, we gain access to more choices of how to behave with each other. This awareness and sense of choice helps us to manifest what we care about in our lives and to work together more creatively and effectively across difference. In Phase 2 we introduce new tools and practices to engage with this deeper level of the training. 

  DEADLINE TO REGISTER IS AUG 15
