Winston-Salem Antiracism Learning Circle
~a community space for learning and practicing antiracism~
Led by Reverend Willard Bass of Institute for Dismantling Racism
and Reverend Christy Clore
This monthly community meeting space is open to all who share the value of dismantling personal, cultural and institutional racism in Winston-Salem and beyond. This group grew out of HOPE TANK W-S which formed to study and practice nonviolent social change. It was formally named “Communicating Effectively about Racism”.
Each meeting includes: time to review the “wall of history” and discuss past and current events, quiet time for reflection and centering, a review of nonviolent principles, and discussion of what is coming up for members of the group as they work to dismantle white supremacy. We invite you to bring stories from your own experiences to share, or to just come ready to work with whatever emerges in the group.
This is a space for coming together across lines of racial difference as well as differences in age, experience, religious/spiritual beliefs, sexual and gender identity and political affiliation. The only requirements are a willingness to engage in honest and respectful conversation.
When: 3rd Thursdays, 6:30-8:00 pm
Where: This group traditionally meets at SHARE Cooperative. We are currently meeting virtually due to Covid-19. Once you register, we will email you a Zoom link.

New Moon Ceremonies
~connecting with ourselves, each other, and the elements~
***More Details to Come***
Each ceremony will be led by a different teacher, healer, or space holder and each offering will have a different theme or focus as we move through the process of gathering and releasing. New Moon Ceremonies are commonly known as a space for women to come together under the moon, but as we are breaking down the gender binary, we welcome all genders to these gatherings.
