8 Sunday evenings via Cloud Zendo Zoom link, January 3 - February 21, 6:30 - 8:15 pm. Facilitated by Keisen Lynn Snow.

Joyful River Lynn Snow

We will explore whiteness and the structures of racism through a Zen Buddhist lens so that practitioners learn to skillfully engage with and transform white racial conditioning and white supremacist systems. Unpacking Whiteness focuses on racial justice, interconnection, and liberation, with the intention that sangha members build brave and inclusive spaces in their homes, workplaces, communities, and at the Houston Zen Center.

Newcomers and seasoned practitioners alike are wholeheartedly welcome.  We request that each participant identifies as a white person and is open to courageous self-exploration with the sangha.

 Unpacking Whiteness is facilitated by Lynn Snow. This is the second time this important series is being offered by Zen Center. If you are wondering about the reasons for a white anti-racism affinity group you might want to read this post, and/or this book, Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? And Other Conversations About Race, by Beverly Tatum, Ph.D..
