'Racial discrimination is the sole cause of racial disparities.'

Candid Conversations: led by Lisa Leung-Tat, RYT 500, is an opportunity for individuals of all backgrounds to gather twice-monthly to share, examine, deconstruct, learn, unlearn, and rebuild our own relationship to some of the most complex concepts that face us today -- white supremacy, antiracism, structural and political racism, ally ship, and systemic injustice.

Accomplice Circle: Dialogues on Justice with Stephen Gresham and Ashley Mitchel. Social Injustice is not new. Its impact on all of us, while different, is undeniable. Interestingly, the opportunities and spaces to come together to both listen and learn are few.


The challenge to move beyond silence into bold action to create a just world is now. The Accomplice Circle provides the community with the dedicated space to reflect on micro and macro issues affecting our individual and collective wellness, and invites us all to be through action the change we'd like to see in the world in which we live.

The opposite of poverty is not wealth it is justice.   

The character of our nation is not on how we treat the rich and powerful.

It is how we treat the downtrodden, children, elderly and the poor.

Racism is not a black problem.

Racism is a white problem to solve.

White people created it.  We are the ones who benefit from the very same economic, social and justice systems that penalize people of color. 

BIPOC (Black, Indigenous People of Color) are forced to live in fear, in the shadows, without the same benefits as white people. 

What will it take to stop? What will it take for white America to find its humanity?
