Lets Talk About Being Black and a Woman in White Evangelical Spaces | Sunday February 21, 2021 [HeartWork R + R (Recovery + Reconciliation) Workshop Series]
In This Session: Whew. You’ve felt it for years...that nagging feeling of being “othered” in a place you call home, noticing how you shift your personality or interests to match those around you yet it's rarely reciprocated, being good enough to “lead” but not be in leadership. You’ve been telling yourself not to make a big deal about it...but the awareness in 2020 that many you’ve worshipped with don’t understand or believe the same as you do when it comes to race, justice, and the church has made it all too much. In this session, we will talk about:
Aggressional blindness and core reasons we choose not to see microaggressions done to us in communities of faith
Identifying and correcting the lies we tell about ourselves in order to cope in this environment
How to spot if you’ve made “white right” when it comes to spiritual practices
Knowing when it’s time to leave or stay
As with any HeartWork event, we train with a Spirit-led, science -backed perspective. Session is open to women. This is a group event- come ready to interact and reflect. You will not be asked to share your specific issue unless you desire to.
Held virtually on Zoom | 60 mins
