Institute
Description:
Colleges and
universities must play a leadership role in promoting racial and social justice.
Despite well-meaning intentions, both the systems we work in as well as our own
fears and resulting biases limit our capacity to work, communicate and build
relationships in ways that uphold equity and inclusion. For most, the
impacts on us and others are as invisible as our biases: from whom we choose to
collaborate with to how we interact with our colleagues and students.
Early and persistent experiences of institutional oppression left their residue
on us.
The intention of
this institute is to come together in community to understand the impacts of
and heal from the effects of institutional and internalized oppressions in
order to create a more just and connected present and future. Join
nationally renowned facilitators Nanci Luna Jimenez and Kathleen Rice of Luna Jimenez Seminars & Associates as we deepen our understanding of who we are, where we come
from and why equity and justice matter - to us personally, to our colleges and
universities, to our communities, to our service learning and community
engagement field, and to our world. This institute focuses on enhancing
our self-awareness, learning about the dynamics and impacts of systems,
discharging and healing from past hurts, and practicing skills to lead more
effectively and compassionately together. We will reflect on how we can
incorporate these tools into our work with students and others in our
communities on- and off-campus. In this highly interactive and
experiential institute, we will learn a framework for transformational change
and emotional growth as well as tools to create and deepen trust and
safety - as we uncover and release our most authentic and effective leadership.
This institute is designed for service learning and community engagement
professionals.
This institute
takes place at the Sequoia Retreat Center - a beautiful, tranquil place of reflection, dialogue and
celebration. The retreat center is located among the redwoods in the
Santa Cruz mountains and has a rich history of promoting peace and unity in the
world. The Sequoia Retreat Center is located 45 minutes from the San Jose
airport and 1.5 hours from the San Francisco airport.
