Be Radically Welcoming Part 2: Microaggressions and Uncomfortable Conversations

RSVP for childcare and lunch
Being radically welcoming includes knowing when and how to step in when we see microaggressions or uncomfortable conversations. We’ll learn more about R.A.V.E.N–a framework that is particularly useful when responding to microaggressions that occur in public (physical and online) spaces. We’ll also have time to practice so we can move past the “freezing” that usually happens.
R.A.V.E.N. is a five-step approach that entails 1) Redirecting the conversation or interaction, 2) Asking probing questions, 3) Values clarification, 4) Emphasizing your own thoughts, and 5) offering concrete Next steps.

Our new Covenant Group is perfect for anyone who wants to work on their spiritual development but can’t commit to regularly attending monthly meetings. Using a monthly packet, participants will engage with one spiritual exercise and one reflective question each month. Come to the group prepared to share what you learned and to listen deeply to others.
This group will be facilitated by Rev. Rebecca. Gatherings are scheduled for the first Tuesday of each month. You’ll discuss the materials from the previous month (ie. on October 1, you’ll share your experiences with the September packet).
Email Terina (LRE@uubn.org) to be added to the email list for the materials and reminders.
