    “Loving yourself is a political act. We are taught not to love ourselves and from that place we are easily manipulated… Love yourself so much that this love changes the world.”  -Rita Shimmin, UNtraining co-founder

    Challenge White Supremacy from the Inside Out

    How do we stay grounded and effective in our racial justice work during these intense times? How do we build authentic connections with other white people who are committed to confronting racism and white supremacy?

    Join us for an intimate, online workshop series designed specifically for white people committed to doing justice work from the inside out. Whether you're an activist, educator, therapist, artist, nonprofit worker, or simply someone who wants to show up with more presence in the world, this series offers practical tools for examining your conditioning as a white person in a supportive and caring space. 

    APPLICATION DEADLINE DECEMBER 13

    Join us if you’re ready to:

    • Gain awareness of how your background shapes your worldview and interactions
    • Move beyond simplistic labels and embrace the complexities of social conditioning
    • Understand how personal narratives can hinder progress
    • Empower yourself to make a difference

    The UNtraining invites you to take part in a transformative experience, where awareness leads to action—and change begins with you.

    Attention White Parents, Partners, & Family Members of BIPOC Loved Ones!

    Are you a white parent of children of color - or a white partner or family member of BIPOC loved ones? Are you seeking to deepen your awareness of how white conditioning shapes your relationships, your caregiving, and the ways you support the BIPOC people in your life?

    Caring for BIPOC children and family members means developing the awareness and resilience to navigate a political landscape where BIPOC communities are increasingly targeted and marginalized. This is not abstract—it affects the daily experiences, opportunities, and emotional lives of the people we love. For white parents, partners, and family members, doing our internal work allows us to show up with greater presence, protection, and responsibility in our relationships and in our communities.

    APPLICATION DEADLINE DECEMBER 14

    • Awareness of racial identity, whiteness, white supremacy, positionality & systemic inequities
    • How our parenting and relational styles are shaped by white supremacy - and how to shift them
    • Skills for fostering resilience, trust & connection with BIPOC children and loved ones
