Decolonizing Whiteness: A Paradox Worth Diving Into
A Gathering for White Descendents of European Settlers, birthed from the Decolonize Race Project
How have our approaches to racial justice movements been leading to breakdowns in relationships, within and across race?
What ancestral wounds have we been carrying that interfere with our ability to show up?
What might be possible if we approach efforts toward reparations and land rematriation from a place of wholeness?
Four years ago, we (Roan and Jen) began a deeply illuminating and stretchy journey with a multiracial group of brilliant comrades at Decolonize Race. As a pair, we began asking big questions about ourselves and the branch of humanity we now call ‘white.’ In 2021, we held a series of gatherings for 15 white/European Americans from around the U.S., extending these questions and holding space for a collective deepening and inquiry. There was brave vulnerability, deep love, heavy tears, laughter and joy, and meaningful breakthroughs around what is required to do the work of anti-racism today.
We are delighted to be offering a second round of our experiment this fall, in its new iteration.
