Cohousing-L Mailing List: Free Webinars on the Power of Difference

[Crystal Farmer (crystalbyrdfarmer]

The Sum is an organization started by cohouser Elliott Cisneros. Starting
next Tuesday he'll be hosting 1 hour webinars on different aspects of
diversity and specifically his Power of Difference Model, which was just
validated as a way to identify and shift people's perspectives on dealing
with race, class, religion, sexuality, and gender. The workshop schedule is
below, and you can register here:

You're also invited to take the free Race Pattern Quiz to get a taste of
how the model works: https://thesum.org/rpq/

Elliott is busy because he'll also be presenting about White Fragility next
Wednesday: https://www.ic.org/event/white-fragility/

people are offering their perspective in this important conversation.
