MIND. BODY. SPIRIT.
Lecture and presentation, large and small group discussion: these intellectual efforts are only one dimension of a holistically conceived curriculum. Integral and primary to BD 101 is the establishing a circle of mutual respect, good faith and a commitment to deep caring, which is able to sufficiently ‘hold’ the group through both the painful and joyful revelations that arise in the course of the workshop.
​
The intuitive is honored along side the intellectual. We especially tend to the body in the midst of this transformational learning. A massage therapist is on the BD101 staff during the course of the workshop, providing one-on-one sessions.

What Folks Are Saying....
"BD101 RACE introduced me to a new approach to racial justice education, for everyone but especially for white people. Before this I have mostly been taught to see anti-racist education for white people as learning the right words/ideas/actions, holding yourself back to avoid taking up too much space etc."​
~2016 BD101 Race Participant
“This workshop goes beyond the right and wrong, racist and anti-racist binary and dives into the fullness of who we have been, who we are and who we want to be.”​
~2015 BD101 Race Participant
"The ability to do work within your own race is so powerful. Niyonu has the ability to stretch you ways like no other facilitator. You must experience her workshop.”​
