LEARNING CIRCLES are small discussion cohorts based on a book or podcast that provide:

  • Important learning about white supremacy, racism, and our national history
  • The opportunity to build trust and go deep in small group discussions over time
  • A safe place to have difficult discussions and deal with discomfort
  • An opportunity to create and strengthen relationships with others
  • Connection, focus and purpose in a virtual setting

How Do LEARNING CIRCLES Work?

  • Each cohort (typically 4-12) gathers for a series (from 6-12 sessions) of facilitated Zoom discussions.
  • Register for specific Learning Circle(s).  Meeting dates & times vary.
  • Everyone is given the opportunity to share reactions, then discuss as a group
  • We ask that you plan to attend all sessions so we can build bonds of trust and insight
