Dwight Hall Library
Developing a grounded sense of self is key to navigating an unjust world. As allies, how do we hold our insecurities so that we can receive critique without defensiveness? As marginalized people, how do we ground ourselves in knowledge of our own dignity, even when the outside world assaults that dignity? Part of a series on emotional and spiritual resilience for activists. Each session is independent; feel free to attend any or all.
