Over the past 25 years Terri Karis has been studying Buddhism, racial identities and whiteness. She is a member of Clouds in Water Zen Center, a white mother of black sons, and a professor of couple and family therapy.
Within a sacred space of stillness, spaciousness, and community we will explore how the habitual practices of whiteness keep us from embodying the freedom that is our birthright and from taking skillful action to address racism. In a spirit of “don’t know" mind we will investigate attachments to being a “good” white person, and how to disrupt white racial fragility and white silence.
