11/30 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM Coming to the Table for Racial Healing and Equity: Making Minnesota the Peacebuilding Power State for All

November 04, 2021 6:06 PM | Anonymous

The November 2021 Mental Well-being and Resilience Learning Community is happening on Tuesday, November 30, 2021, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 pm. 

Since 2017, the Minnesota Peacebuilding Leadership Institute has sponsored the Minneapolis chapter of the national organization Coming to the Table (CTTT). CTTT racial healing and equity talking circles create safe spaces to hear stories, uncover history, build relationships, and heal from racial violence and trauma.  Talking circles help build life-giving power in our communities amidst the uncertainty and vulnerability we face.  CTTT invites descendants of the enslaved, slave owners, settlers, indigenous communities, and all those interested in engaging in safe constructive dialogue to envision just and truthful communities. The circles are designed to heal racial wounds from historical trauma and collective trauma that continues today.  In 2020 we grew the CTTT circles in partnership with Normandale College, the City of Minneapolis, and community partners in Ramsey, Dakota, and Washington Counties. Over 700 individuals have participated in one of our five monthly talking circles. Learn how Peacebuilding launched this initiative, how our CTTT partnerships have evolved, and how CTTT is addressing key organizational equity goals.  We will also discuss the organizational and community outcomes associated with these community healing and equity circles.
