Join Professor Loretta J. Ross and Loan Tran on this transformative four-week course where we will:

• Contextualize call-out culture as a logical result of systems of domination and control, such as white supremacy and patriarchy

• Develop new language and frameworks for creating positive social change

• Go beyond a diagnosis of the problems to engage in new practices with each other

• Incorporate somatic or body-based practices into our toolbox

• Gain clarity on a sense of belonging and purpose in a broader human rights movement

We share practical, immediately applicable ways to build towards a Calling In culture where each of us is more equipped to tackle the problems of our times head-on with more love, compassion, and joy.
