In this session, we will review some concepts related to racism and the various levels of how it impacts our society. It is normal for these conversations to make us feel some level of anxiety, stress, and various negative emotional responses.

In this session, it is critical that we interrogate this trauma and pay close attention to how it impacts our unconscious bodies. By the end of this session, you will be familiar with various impacts of racism in society and be able to identify practices that can be utilized.
