Workshops
Roots of Justice offers a variety of workshops, retreats, and other products. We work with sponsoring groups to make sure that your workshop best fits the needs of your organization.
The Damascus Road Antiracism Process is a process for teams who are working to dismantle racism within their institution or community. While designed for teams, individuals can also attend the primary workshop, the Damascus Road Antiracism Analysis Training. Other workshops in the Damascus Road Process focus on team organizing and educating/communicating.
The Intersectional Analysis Training is a two-and-a-half day workshop designed to help participants understand the complex ways that various oppressions intersect and connect. Through interactive exercises, participants examine how race, gender and class relate to power and identity.
Set Free is a retreat for People of Color who want to explore the ways that they have individually and collectively internalized the lies of racism (internalized racist oppression). Participants examine history and the present as a way to expose the myth of racial inferiority and lead toward healing and wholeness.
Fire & Clay is a retreat for White People (those who receive racial privilege) who have already participated in a DR Antiracism Analysis Training want to explore the ways that they have individually and collectively internalized the lies of racism (internalized racist superiority).
