Rehumanize: The Human First Lens
Fall Cohort: October 1st – December 3, 2024
Rehumanize is journey of healing, self-discovery and community empowerment. Together, we’ll explore our universal humanity, the cycle of oppression and empowerment, keys for healthy human relationships and what we can do to interrupt oppression, bias and prejudice we might encounter or have even developed in our ourselves. Perfect for those seeking to better understand themselves and wish to be a part of healing our communities. Rehumanize takes place over 10 days in short 1-hour sessions via Zoom so that participants can learn and contemplate lessons in the comfort of their own home or office.
