SUMMARY:Ministry of Black Women's Self Care\, September\, 2024 - with Kim Gaubault (via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Kim Gaubault recognizes that self-care is often the component that remains a form of intervention (after the break or the medical emergency) rather than a preventative measure. When we allow our bodies\, minds and/or spirits to break down in the course of doing this work\, we are not only putting ourselves at risk but we are putting at risk the integrity of the work for which we are laboring. This work is a work of self-love\, communal love\, Womanist Ethicism\, it is multi-generational\, multicultural and is not finite\, but is instead as infinite as the beauty in the divinity that is Blackness. Come and share in this life’s work! This program is specifically designed to offer practical tools for everyday self-care to Black women-identified individuals doing all forms of ministry\, in church and community. \nSeptember: The Joy (and the Oh Boy) of Mothering While Black\nOctober: Legacy: Gifting Our Wealth to Generations to Come\nNovember: Honoring the Uncommon: Giving Thanks for the Unconventional\nDecember: Perspective: Reflections on the Journey \nLeader: Kimberly Gaubault (McCrae) is an intentional lover of humanity and actively lives the self-care life about which she teaches and advocates. Her personal philosophy of interpersonal interaction is\, “If I’ve not positively influenced someone everywhere I’ve gone\, I’ve not walked in my purpose.” \nCost: $10\, $25\, or $40 \nper session. Choose the price that fits your budget. \nRegister for September below. \nRegister for October: HERE. November: HERE.

SUMMARY:Anti-Racism As Daily Practice: A Reading with Jen Harvey\, in conversation with Melanie Morrison (via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:“An essential book of practical wisdom…. If you’re white and have been asking\, ‘What can I do now?’ this lively and timely book is for you.”\n―Robert Jones\, New York Times bestselling author of The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy \nAntiracism as Daily Practice illustrates the many ways white Americans can choose behaviors in our everyday lives to grow racial justice. Full of real life stories\, this book shows how vital it is for white people to engage in and with our families\, through our social networks\, in our neighborhoods\, and at our jobs to make antiracism a daily living commitment. We have real power in our relationships with other white people–and not enough of us have used it. Dr. Harvey explains why we white people struggle with knowing what to do about racism\, and explores the significance of emotions like grief and anger (as well as the harmful role of shame) in reckoning with the transformation and change needed in our communities to become the partners in justice that Black communities and other communities of color need and deserve. \n \nAuthor: The Rev. Dr. Jennifer Harvey is a long-time educator and activist who passions continually revolve around white antiracism\, who currently serves as VP for Academic Affairs and Academic Dean at Garrett Theological Seminary. Dr. Harvey’s books include the New York Times Bestseller Raising White Kids: Bringing Up Children in Racially Unjust America and Dear White Christians: For Those Still Longing for Racial Reconciliation\, she’s written for the New York Time and CNN and appeared on nationally syndicated televisions and radio\, including CNN’s Town Hall on Racism with Sesame Street and NPR’s “All Things Considered” with Michel Martin. \nPurchase the book: HERE. \nCost: Free.

SUMMARY:Remaking a Memory with Shawna Ayoub (via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Traumatic memories are formed differently than normal memories\, and can be more intense and longer lasting. In addition\, we can inform our own traumatic memories by rehearsing them. This looks like retelling the event to others\, to ourselves\, or writing it down. When we do this\, we are at risk of introducing inaccuracies and potentially doing ourselves greater harm. However\, when we write our traumatic memories\, we are also presented with a powerful opportunity: to reframe them. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReframing our difficult memories allows us to remake them in a way that serves us. In this two-hour Zoom session\, we will learn how memories can be intentionally offered through multiple reframing techniques including altered point of view and writing the story as it should have happened. After our workshop\, writers will have the chance to receive private written feedback from the instructor. \n\n\n\n\n\nLeader: Shawna Ayoub is a brown\, queer\, Durham-based writer and instructor whose work prioritizes the engagement of difficult topics. After recognizing the personal benefits of writing for release and recovery\, she has made her practice public for the last 12 years\, offering courses independently as well as through the Center for Creative Writing. Her work has appeared in Verywell Mind\, Survivor Lit\, Exit 7\, [wherever]\, The Archipelago\, and The Manifest-Station. \nCost: $75\, $100. Scholarships available. Please contact info@rcwms.org. \nRegister below. Registrants will receive a Zoom link in the automated ticket confirmation.
