Our first talk on shame barely touched the surface on what shame even is y’all. We definitely needed bigger buckets. After a holiday break, we’ll give it another try to start off 2022.
Here are some pieces folks found helpful.
An article on how the differences between cultural competence, awareness and sensitivity can impact mental wellness.
A TED Talk appeal to mental health workers to consider-and not judge-the context of their patients.
This meeting will be on Zoom so no amount of distance is an obstacle. All are welcome to join us on January 30th at 1:30 PM, PST. Make sure to RSVP for meeting details.
See you soon.
The Desert Salon is not a class: it rejects the roles of teacher and student. The Desert Salon is radical: it rejects the divisions that the world makes between us based on skin, ableism, sex, gender, or class. Past meetings have discussed things as massive as the the Imperialist White-Supremacist Capitalist Heteropatriarchy and as local as water price changes. Being a radical is not a requirement, but you just might be inspired.
