General admission

Join me in our new office space near South Eugene high school! After assessing dietary needs, I will cook you all a hot, yummy crockpot dinner (along with Le Croix, hot tea, and tea cookies), which we will eat together in a group of no more than 10 people while I facilitate us in conversation and self-reflection around the topic of settler-colonizer culture and the belief in scarcity of time, money, and love. How does the scarcity mindset affect our relationships, choices, and the way we show up in the world?  You will be given the address after you register so I can vet who attends (as a safety precaution). I predict some people in attendance will be those who have gone through a "Me and White Supremacy" learning group, but this is not required. A BIPOC affinity break-out space will be created if needed. IF YOU ARE WHITE-BODIED / WHITE-PRESENTINGBy registering for this event, you agree to the following:1. White supremacy is the system we find ourselves in.2. Saying something along the lines of "I don't see color" (color-evasiveness) denies the realities of racism, and ignores rich aspects of identity and ancestry. 3. Everything listed in the far right column (I will send an easier-to-read version via email if you register for this offering):<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1711302368/nat2ho28rdmfgm1xqdkx.png" style="width:600px;display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto;text-align:center;position:relative;max-width:100%;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;-webkit-user-select:none;box-sizing:inherit" />
