Cultivating the Capacity to Intervene When Harm Happens: an exploration on microaggression interventions in work that reconnects spaces
Have you ever witnessed microaggressions while facilitating and not known what to do, or wished you had done something different?
Join Aravinda Ananda and Janna Diamond for this 6-hour workshop exploring approaches to addressing microaggressions. This is geared specifically to Work That Reconnects facilitators or people in the Work That Reconnects community who would like to explore and practice different approaches to being an active bystander. We will work with examples that have happened in Work That Reconnects workshops as a way to build capacity and skill for the next time microaggressions happen.
During our time together we will explore ways to respond and intervene when harm happens with a particular focus on microaggressions. This training has three components: first we will explore microaggressions, their impact, and approaches for intervening when they happen; next we will look at some of our internal conditioning and nervous system responses; and we will conclude with opportunities to practice interventions through role-plays.
