The Central Piedmont fellows of the Charlotte Racial Justice Consortium invite you to a Racial Healing Circle. The purpose of Racial Healing Circles are to introduce and practice a process by which we can embrace our common humanity, work from a place of mutual love and respect, learn to see ourselves in one another, and approach difficult issues of race through the lens of empathy rather than the lens of sympathy.
To create a space of respect, truth, and empathy, you will need to agree to stay for the entire time.
What to expect: a session of both group interactions and smaller, more intimate conversations between two participants. The experience relies on intentional listening. It may be an emotional, even transformational, experience for participants, as conversations can unearth truths and conscious and unconscious biases. It can also raise the awareness, consciousness, compactions, and empathy among those who participate.
Light refreshments will be provided by the Student Equity Council, a co-sponsor of the event.
