Bearing Witness to Racism in America Retreat

Hosted by

Zen Peacemakers International

From the Organizer:

Rather than approaching racism as a problem to solve or an idea to analyze, this retreat invites participants to bear witness through presence, silence, and shared experience. The practice asks us to suspend assumptions, release fixed views, and listen — to the places we visit, to one another, and to ourselves. This is not an activist training or educational seminar. It is a practice of transformation, allowing the experience to change us.

Zen Peacemakers International is the host of this event. Please contact them with any questions.
