Come practice gratitude at the end of Thanksgiving weekend with a short hike and mindfulness practice in Redwood Regional Park in the Oakland hills.

We will be socially-distanced, masked and in a group of no more than 10.

Hike the slopes of the Bay Area’s iconic Mt. Tam, stopping in meadows with views of the Pacific and San Francisco and in deep woods to practice mindfulness in nature.

We’ll be socially-distanced, masked and in a group limited to 8.

As we make transitions, both small and large, we experience the liminal—the feeling of neither here nor there. We are in that moment as a society and globally, and this series co-designed and co-facilitated with Ari Sahagún offers practices and perspectives on navigating transition and emergence at an individual, collective and cultural level.

These sessions—occurring bimonthly until June 18— are built around four interconnected themes: Spirit, Nature, Power, and Networks. Each session will introduce a theme and related strategic question, share core practices connected to that theme, and offer an opportunity for reflection and dialogue.

In this final session in the series, we’ll review where we’ve been and what we’ve learned, and we will highlight networks—the intentional weaving together of individuals and institutions dedicated to systemic change—as a way to demonstrate and encourage collective action moving forward. We’ll share network practices and mindsets that help set a firm foundation for individual and collaborative leadership in ways that help build a bridge to a more whole and just future.

In this session, we explore our relationship to power—our own, that of others, the power imbued in the systems of which we are a part and how that might be shifting. We will surface issues related to racial justice and oppression of all kinds, and practices to support skillful engagement in these areas.

In this session, we’ll explore our connection to what is larger than ourselves and the connectedness that exists in our relationships to people and place—whether we refer to that as spirit or as something else. We’ll share practices that invite that connection and discuss the potential for our presence and our work that come from connecting to spirit.

As part of our work in the world, white cis-males engaged in social change must contend with how we show up, our understanding of whiteness and toxic masculinity, clarifying our role moving forward, and ensuring accountability for our actions. This small, consistent group will meet initially over the course of four Mondays (bimonthly between May 3 and June 14) to explore the shape of what an ongoing dialogue and accountability work looks like individually and collectively.

“Reckoning” comes from a root word focused on accountability, clarity, consideration of viewpoint and assessment of role. It is my hope that these sessions can provide all of that as a basis for growing awareness, shifting behavior, and inspiring powerful action.

Please be in touch directly with me to learn more or to register, which involves completing a brief survey (which I’m completing too!) so that I, and the group, can have a clearer sense of your interest and commitment to this type of work.
