Commitment prior to the first day:

Before we come together as a cohort, you are being presented with some information/perspective to digest on your own time (please DO NOT put it off to the last minute), as well as some questions to answer for yourself. These resources and conversation starters are meant to be an invitation for you to dive further into this vital human process, and commit to it with a more truthful and sustained intention. (Transcriptions in Spanish are also available, upon request).

--These bits of information and resource materials will support you in starting on this journey, and will take you roughly 3-4 hours to experience.

Workshop Description:

Crafting Your Equity Lens, offered by Matthew Reynolds Consulting (MRC), provides a carefully designed learning experience that is rooted in dignity, courage, and love. Participants can expect to be challenged by how the world they currently see and experience is shaped by culture and reinforced socially - beliefs, biases, judgement, and perceptions about people outside their own experience will be gently unearthed and brought into the light. Through deep self-reflection, learning, embracing, and letting go, this three-day course promises to open awareness and awaken hearts and minds. Expect to see the unseen, know the unknown, and hear the unheard in yourself and others. This course is just the beginning - it is an invitation to collective healing and radical reimagining in community. The learning goals aim to bring forth the vision, will, and skill to co-create a bigger, brighter, fuller future where every child and adult can feel safe, know they matter, and belong.

There will be a required 2 day follow up at a later date, dates TBD.
