The Interfaith Social Justice Coalition is delighted to host a special workshop on how to build more welcoming, just, and equitable communities. Following up on last month’s panel conversation, we have a visiting guest, the superb Claudia Alick (pictured), who will guide us through the process of collaborating to develop forward-looking strategies and practices that create thriving, diverse and equitable communities. Ever wondered what we might be missing about our spaces and practices that are making it difficult to achieve greater unity with all community members? That might be barriers to participation? We’ll bring the unconscious into the conscious and devise tangible steps we can take now to improve our civic and spiritual communities.
This workshop is free to attend and is operating on a radical generosity model. Please support Claudia’s professional work as the spirit of gratitude moves you.
Workshop will be held in Wesley Hall of the Ashland United Methodist Church at 175 N. Main St.
