    This group is available to people who have been invited to participate in Phase 1, Group C.  This group meets ONLINE on Saturdays, beginning January 13, 2024, and is facilitated by Rae Mary and Cindy McPherson.

    Our sliding scale is $1,000 to $2,000 for the full program. Please choose to pay at a level with as much generosity as you can offer. This will help others who want to do this work but may need financial support. We do not want finances to be a barrier: payment plans and other options are available. You may be able to use professional development funds from your workplace. We are happy to have a conversation to see how we can support you to participate.

    Phase 3 of UNtraining White Liberal Racism is available to people who have been invited to join this group and who have completed Phase 1, Phase 2, and the Risk of the Self weekend.

    The theme and activities of Phase 3 are new each year, evolving out of the previous Risk of the Self, where the community is moving, and what is happening in the world. Phase 3 is facilitated by UNtraining founder Ro Horton and senior teacher Swan Keyes. 

    The sliding scale for Phase 3 is $900 - $2000. We urge you to be as generous as you can so we can continue to support our facilitators and ensure that everyone who wants to can participate. At the same time, we truly do not want finances to be an obstacle for anyone. We are happy to arrange payment plans, provide documents for professional development funds from your workplace or make other arrangements so you can participate.

    Contact janetc@untraining.org to have a supportive conversation about what would work for you.

    If you have any questions, please contact us at info@untraining.org or (510) 235-3957.

    “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


    UNtraining White Liberal Racism groups offer a compassionate and challenging program for white people to explore how growing up white has affected us and our relationships with others. Whatever level of experience and activism we may have, the invisible “white training” can get in the way of our ability to be present and disrupt racism at whatever level we encounter it.

    Phase 1 introduces foundational tools and concepts of the UNtraining and -- most importantly -- fosters intimate and sustaining practices that make ongoing change possible.

    JOIN US IF YOU ARE READY TO:

    • Be more aware of the ways the white training impacts your view of yourself, your relationships with others, and your work in the world
    • Communicate authentically and compassionately with others about issues of racism in your own life
    • Move beyond the dichotomy of seeing yourself or other white people as either “good white people” or “bad racists” by learning to hold your white social conditioning in the context of your basic goodness as a human
    • Recognize how personal stories allow the training to “hook” you and other white people and render us ineffective in disrupting racism – and more!

    You can also email us: info@untraining.org or call 510-235-3957.
