Student's Say What?

There was a real sense of intimacy and engagement in the class that Lashanna and Summer did excellent in creating the container for - this was particularly noted when we were having the inevitable difficult discussions that arise when conversing about death which arose both in the larger and small group discussions. There was a comfort established that can be difficult to achieve, especially in an online setting. For this I was very grateful as I felt well held. Further, the class did great to cover topics (with multimedia) not generally on the 'syllabus' for death doula training, including not only topics regarding racism, classism, colonialism and ableism but also accountability, consent, healing justice, disability justice, racial justice and gender justice in death work. So crucial!

Anti-Racism Circle SEPTEMBER
Thursday, September 30, 2021
7:00 PM  8:30 PM

People who identify as white and/or benefit from white privilege who are engaging in anti-racism work are welcome to this monthly psychedelic integration circle on the last Thursday of each month. We meet in this community to discuss how psychedelics can support the lifelong process of dismantling white supremacy in ourselves and in our communities. Integration is a vital component of the entheogenic experience, bridging the ineffable elements of the medicine journey with one’s daily life.
In this space, participants will be led in a brief grounding practice, oriented to the co-created community space, and invited to share their psychedelic experiences as they interrelate with their experience in dismantling white supremacy, both within and outside of themselves. Registration closes 24 hours prior to the event.
