Witness: Reclaiming Our Stories for Connection - March 2022

Today’s current political, cultural and social environments are wrought with anxiety, fear, and polarization. As minority communities, we mostly live within a larger narrative created by others often with few places to explore, find and share our voice.

In this two-part workshop for anyone who is a member of a historically marginalized or oppressed community, we will use the Radical Engagement / Get Empathy storytelling process to dismantle the dominant narrative structures that limit the validation, telling and listening to these stories.

The goals of the Witness: Reclaiming Our Stories for Connection workshop are to:

• Provide space and a structured opportunity for individuals to create coherent narratives of their challenges.
• Dismantle the dominant narrative structures that separate ourselves from our own stories while increasing our capacity to include diverse perspectives and experiences within our communities.
• Build Bridges through the use of resonance practice to solicit support and understanding while building deep empathy.
• Empower the community to share the leadership by building solidarity and resilience.
