Minding the Messy Middle Conversation Circle:
Holding Safe Space to
Address Anti-Asian Hate
Online Live, Real Time Session
For racialized people with lived experience
With the rise of anti-asian hate, are you:
- Feeling unsure what to do with uncomfortable emotions like anxiety, fear, sadness, grief, or anger?
- Struggling with helplessness, frozen with a sense of lack of control?
- Frustrated and hard on yourself because you wish you could speak up more, as a bystander or target of racism?
- Grappling with your racial identity and the weight of Asian stereotypes?
You are not alone.
Gather in real-time for this highly interactive, guided journey to compassionately and safely explore these challenging times.
We are making room to offer this supportive space for you, the Asian/Pacific Islander/South Asian community to reflect and be present in the messy middle together in solidarity, to create meaningful connections — to ground yourself, to connect with others, and consider our responses in our emerging world.
You’re invited to experience:
SELF ADVOCACY + SELF COMPASSION
Show up for yourself, slow down, connect with what’s stirring in your heart, in a supportive space. Articulate your emotions in a non judgmental space, increase compassion and awareness in your life.
GUIDED REFLECTION
Experience intentional reflective practice tools that will support you to walk through in the journey ahead, through difficult challenges. Explore through guided prompts, visualization, journalling, and creative exercises.
HONEST CONVERSATIONS
Speak your truth by sharing (if you feel compelled to). Support others’ voices as you listen compassionately and actively. Deepen insight and solidarity by holding space for and being held by others on the same journey.
PERSPECTIVE + PURPOSE
Gain fresh insight into current times. Increase clarity, confidence, and intention as you explore your unique perspective and place in a rapidly changing world that needs your light to shine brightly.
All of you is welcome here, whether you’re feeling stirred to be still or to speak, whether you’re dressed and in your office, or taking zoom calls from bed in your messy bun with the camera off. Come with an open heart, ready to be present and to engage.
