Election Anxiety Support Circle

November 4, 2024 | 12-1PM ET | Zoom

The 2024 US election cycle is coming to a major inflection point with voting day on November 5th and emotions will be running high for many of us. Join Interhelp for an hour of sharing in community: A space for sharing feelings about this election cycle, and resourcing ourselves for the day(s) ahead.

If you are in a time zone where this happens during your lunch hour, or any other mealtime, feel free to eat during our shared time.

Facilitated by Aravinda Ananda and Janna Diamond

Healing the Colonizer Mind: A Deeper Look at Reparations

with Louise Dunlap and Aravinda Ananda

November 17, 2024 | 2-5PM ET | Zoom

Join us for the final workshop in the Healing the Colonizer Mind: A Deeper Look series with Louise Dunlap and Aravinda Ananda. This series explores the content and themes of Louise’s book Inherited Silence: Listening to the Land, Healing the Colonizer Mind through a combination of dialogues between Aravinda and Louise and practices from the spiral of the Work That Reconnects.

The November 17th workshop will focus on Reparations and the many kinds of land return that are now available – even when one is not a “land owner”/deed holder. There is a broad spectrum of ways settler-Americans are choosing to turn towards repair of the many harms of colonization. Whether your ancestors were direct perpetrators of the harm of historical colonization, or you simply benefit today from that (yet ongoing) history, participating in these reparative actions is an important part of the healing needed in these times.

We’ve invited some guest presenters to join us to share on a range of options that vary by region and personal circumstances including land taxes, landback, policy changes, giving circles, volunteer work, community education/organizing, reparative wills and more. Like the other themes discussed in this series, the journey toward repair (or reparations) takes time, everyone’s different, and all can lead to profound feelings of joy and healing.
