Decoding Whiteness is a 2½-day course. This cohort-based series includes group meetings and coaching sessions focused on identifying, naming and dismantling whiteness.
Decoding Whiteness provides a critical opportunity for people to deepen their understanding of equity, diversity, inclusion, healing, justice, and liberation and to learn how to embody that work in everyday life in multiple contexts. We focus on community building and behavior change to support more effective engagement in anti-racism practices and behaviors. The course supports building capacity to work together across dimensions of diversity toward shared goals for a more livable and just society and environmental movement.
Course goals include:
- Co-create a community that is committed to ongoing, daily, sometimes painful growth
- Explore content from diverse sources to deepen analysis and support a new vision
- Practice refining a new vision and changes in behavior, beliefs and advocacy needed for transformation
- Evolve a system and thinking of abundance and reciprocity
- Make tangible commitments to learning about, understanding and practicing behavior that pushes back against the legacy of colonization decoding whiteness and engaging in regular anti-racism actions
- Action planning focused on racial equity and justice

"This was the most supportive and nurturing experience I've had where a group of white people come together to decode whiteness and commit to anti-racism."———————
"[The course] made me think about who I am and what I can do in my world to try to create a more just society. It was a shared space to critically think about whiteness and its impact on me personally and relationally."
