Practicing Wholeness - Working with bias and interdependence

Evolutionarily in-group and out-group behaviours have served a protectionary purpose, and these behaviours continue to be supported in today’s media, social circles and cultural norms. Being able to see these behaviours, and the biases that emerge from them, can help us be more skillful and compassionate in any setting. This learning event will include a short discussion, practice and optional sharing. To prepare for this learning event, we invite you to select and complete one implicit bias test provided by Harvard’s Project Implicit by clicking here.

Learning outcomes:

• Understand how bias can get in the way of experiencing interdependence
• Experience a Just Like Me evidence-based practice that supports perspective taking and cultivating wholeness
• Assess your biases by completing Harvard’s implicit bias test
