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.
