[Listen to My Story]Listen to My Story:  a WebEx series continuing the conversation on unconscious racism

This series, sponsored by the OSP IHM Healing Racism Committee, continues the conversation begun at the Unconscious Racism Symposium in April, 2011.  Beginning with an introductory session on Monday, November 28, 2011, on The Power of the Story, the series will feature personal stories and discussion about how unconscious racism touches our lives.

Be a part of this conversation to raise your own consciousness of the attitudes of racism of which we are often unaware.  Learn to recognize and work to heal these attitudes in yourself and to help those around you to do the same. 

As with the original symposium, this series will use WebEx technology to connect audiences in multiple geographic locations.  Sisters and their friends and colleagues are invited to participate.  Each session will stand alone, participation in previous sessions is not required.  Sessions will be conducted approximately once a month and will be one and a half hours in length.

Each of the four congregations providing this series will sponsor up to 6 locations.  Please contact us if you would like to propose your location.  Requirements:   A computer with high speed Internet connection, webcam, large screen display/projector to accommodate the size of audience.  We encourage you to invite friends, coworkers, etc.  Priority in selecting locations will be given to larger groups.
