Watershed Coaching Anti-Racism Book Study:  "Caste" Registration 2.23.21
The intention of this discussion series is to serve as a support for learning for people who identify as White or European American. Our hope is that this quarterly gathering will provide structure to continue our learning on anti-racism (concrete deadlines to finish a book helps!) and give us a place for reflection and inquiry with others. Each quarter, we'll focus on a new book, and the commitment from participants is just to one book (though of course you're welcome to join more than one session). The conversation will be co-hosted by me,  Kerry Secrest of Watershed Coaching, and Kate Jellema, a colleague and friend who I knew through Marlboro College and now works at the International Refugee Assistance Project. We are both committed to creating a safe space for a small group of 8-10 fellow learners.

This quarter, we'll be reading "Caste" by Isabel Wilkerson. Let’s start with a rave review by Oprah Winfrey who states “This might be the most important book I’ve ever chosen for my book club.” It’s considered the number one non-fiction book by Time magazine this year, and has received countless awards. In this book, Wilkerson demonstrates how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings comparable to India and Nazi-Germany. It’s an eye-opening, uncomfortable book, that reveals the damage this system has on everyone involved, but also provides hope in how to move forward standing on a transparent facing of what lies under the surface of our society.

Last step: Please send a photo of your donation receipt to: kerry@watershedcoachingllc.com or (802)490-0445. The intention isn't to check your honesty, but rather to ensure your commitment to participating in the session, given we  have a limited number of spaces. Research shows that when we put money down in advance, it increases our likelihood to attend. (Maybe with the exception of health clubs at New Years!)  Once I get this photo- we'll send you more information. Thank you! Really looking forward to the discussion! Anything else? Just write it here.
