November 7, 2019 - Practice Session Launch: How to Speak Up When You Hear a Biased Comment



 Last night Lifespan Spiritual Exploration and Central VT Showing Up for Racial Justice launched our second year of collaboration on a series of workshops meant to empower people to speak out when they hear a biased or prejudiced comment.  

This was the first of four Practice Sessions: Interrupting Hate and Addressing Unintended Bias.  

Additional sessions will be: 

Wed. 1/15, 6-8pm
Sun. 2/9, 1:15-3:15pm
Tues. 3/31, 6-8pm


Many people choose to come to multiple sessions to get more practice.  The scenarios for practice change each session.  

The free sessions are open to everyone including the wider community.  No experience is needed. Come to one or all. Lite refreshments provided.





The practice sessions are a combination of whole group time and time in triads to practice different sample responses to real-life scenarios of biased comments.
