What First Nations Can Teach Us About Power and Privilege
Thursday Aug 18, 9 -11 am PST, 12-2 pm EST
As facilitators and hosts, we work within an invisible field of interconnectedness, where power and privilege shape relationships and possibilities. What can First Nations teach us about navigating power dynamics — in ourselves, with each other, and in the world? In this exchange, we will explore indigenous understandings of power and privilege through storytelling and dialogue. Listening deeply to the innate wisdom of the natural world — of which we are a part — we will each discover new ways to see and work with power and privilege.
