Race, Place, and Grace: Origins - The Power of Personal Story

Join us for Race, Place, and Grace: Origins - The Power of Personal Story, a free training facilitated by Shannon McGuire.

This interactive workshop is designed to build bridges across diverse perspectives. Expect an engaging session filled with self-reflection, hands-on activities, and opportunities to connect with others in a supportive and inclusive environment.

Guided by Shannon, participants will consider their unique origin story, cultural influences, and lived experiences through writing exercises and group discussions.

Participants can expect to:

• Delve into the roots of their personal narratives to understand how these stories shape interactions with others.
• Learn practical tools for addressing conflict fatigue and strategies for recharging from burnout.
• Practice techniques for meaningful dialogue, active listening, and cultivating empathy in everyday interactions.

What to Bring

• A notebook and writing utensil.
• A willingness to share and listen with an open mind.
• Curiosity to explore new perspectives and challenge assumptions.

This workshop is free, but space is limited. Please register on Eventbrite.
