About the Affinity Group Sessions:
These group holistic wellness coaching sessions are for Program participants to process in a peer setting. All sessions are conducted on Zoom, and the Holistic Wellness Coach leading each group will provide you with the Zoom link in advance of the session.
These groups are based on affinity of racialized identities: one group is for people who identify as or are racialized as Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC)* and another group is for people who identify as or are racialized as White. The Holistic Wellness Coach for each group shares a racialized identity with the participants of that group. Please only sign up for the affinity group with which you share a racialized identity.
You can sign up for one or all three of the affinity group coaching sessions. Please note that these happen outside of the Elevating Equity Workshop hours.
*We want to acknowledge that the experiences of BIPOC peoples are not all the same and that there are inherent contradictions in grouping all BIPOC participants in affinity while also trying to create inclusive and equitable spaces. Our goal with providing affinity-based holistic wellness coaching spaces is to provide opportunities for BIPOC participants to process without the constraints of White-dominant spaces and for participants racialized as White to process without causing harm to BIPOC participants.
