Beyond Diversity 101
March 19-23; Monday 10am to Friday 4pm

An innovative new anti-racism training comes to the Maritimes at Tatamagouche Centre, Nova Scotia.  Traditional anti-racism and anti-oppression work isn't getting us where we need to be.  Niyonu Spann is the Dean of Pendle Hill, a Quaker study and retreat centre near Philadelphia Pa., who has developed a new vision of where this work needs to be, grounded in the belief that transforming unjust systems requires taking responsibility, shifting mindsets and building skills.  Through experiental activities, movement and media tools, participants will: raise our consciousness of the dynamics of human difference; develop necessary skills to recognize, acknowledge and deconstruct systems based on separation and power-over; and explore how spirituality influences this work.  All this, grounded in a vision that is informed from within and connected outward.  For more information about Niyonu Spann and details about this training opportunity, please see http://www.tatacentre.ca/beyond_diversity_101.htm.  After registering for BD101, participants will receive the pre-work assignments and a list of suggested items to bring to the workshop. Participants will receive a Beyond Diversity Certificate upon the successful completing of the program.

Cost: $480 (registration and tuition); $320 (all meals and accommodations at Tatamagouche Centre).

To register, or for more information, please contact Tatamagouche Centre 1-800-218-2220 or www.tatacentre.ca
