Brave Space conversation – TODAY

submitted by greenj@augsburg.edu

This morning, April 2, the Augsburg community will welcome local circle keepers, Jamie Williams and Raj Sethuraju, who will draw upon indigenous practices to offer “circle work” designed to heal and restore community in the aftermath of racial incidents and experiences of harm. Each brings extensive experience with this work. The session will create a space in which participants can authentically engage, listen, and learn from one another. This session builds on experiences that were offered during the MLK Day of Action by Professor Joaquin Munoz of the Department of Education, though there is no expectation that anyone who attends has participated in those sessions or has experiences with circle work.

All members of the Augsburg community – students, faculty, and staff – are invited to attend and join in this conversation, which will run from 9-11 am in the East Commons. Refreshments will be available at 8:30 a.m.
