Real Talk
How do you move beyond the feeling of being “stuck” when it comes to talking about race? What does a person need in order to feel seen or understood? How do we both invite and keep people in their seat at the table? In our Real Talk program, we came together in conversation to create safe, effective spaces to have a dialogue about race and build relationships in the process. Real Talk developed after the CUC spent years in conversation together about how to create safe, effective spaces to have dialogue about race and build relationships in the process.
PACE Method
Join Hansa Patel and Melanie Rowen for an insightful one-hour webinar with Rev. Liên Shutt, LCSW, a Zen Buddhist priest, social worker, and social justice advocate, as we explore strategies to address unconscious racism in conflict resolution.
This session introduces the PACE method—Prevent, Abandon, Cultivate, Extend—a four-step approach for skillfully engaging with unconscious racial biases during mediation. We will also delve into “up-power” and “down-power” dynamics in leadership and conflict. Drawing from Rev. Shutt’s book Home is Here: Practicing Antiracism with the Engaged Eightfold Path, this webinar is perfect for conflict resolution professionals and leaders committed to fostering racial equity and justice.
