Sacred Conversation on Race - A Series for White People


  • The Box 425 Boardman Avenue Traverse City, MI, 49684 United States (map)

In these times, ripe for change, be inspired to think again about what it means to be a positive presence in our world. We know that as white people we have work to do to understand our privilege and what it means to be a good ally of people of color in a divided society. We will explore these and other concepts as well as where we see racism in our daily lives. We are excited to offer these discussions.

The conversation will be most valuable if participants commit to all 4 weeks. Rev. Jody Betten, white pastor and teacher, seeking to inspire dialogue around race, will be the facilitator. 

4 Consecutive Sundays from 3-5pm at The Box
