A Mindful Dismantling of the Lenses That Skew Perception and Fuel Reactivity
This three session course explores implicit bias, which is a function of the subconscious feelings, attitudes and/or stereotypes that affect our perception, actions, and decisions. These feelings and attitudes are activated involuntarily, outside of our conscious awareness and intentional control and affect our real world functioning in ways that can cause ourselves and others harm. Fortunately, these biases are changeable and we can mindfully train our brains to see more clearly through a variety of practices.
- Session 1: Understanding explicit bias, practices for clearer seeing, daily life applications
- Session 2: Insight and exploration, applications for systems, structures and institutions
- Session 3: Insight & exploration, deepening the practice
