Bridge Conference 2019

Inner Equity is an orientation to how we relate to ourselves from how we've been socialized and fragmented. I introduce the concept of our compartments--mental, physical, emotional, and social--and how US culture and systems distort the ways we interact with our separated parts. From there, I invite participants to explore our relationships to ourselves through a series of self and other interactions, sharings, and recordings of our experiences. Then, with this orientation, we'll move into collective wisdom to leverage how practicing Inner Equity can support us and those we serve.

Inner Equity is about becoming more acquainted to how we relate to ourselves, which gives us more information in how we relate to others. How this applies to young people's cultures and identities is that the more we are able to own how we dis/connect, dis/engage, and dis/regard ourselves, the more we are able to see how we could be projecting onto the young people we serve.

My hope is that in realizing how we harm ourselves, we would shift to more fully realized healing and support of young people who are still exploring and forming ownership of their sovereignty in culture and identity.
