United Against Hate Week: 4 Ways to Mitigate Implicit Bias
When: Monday, September 23, 2024 | 06:00 PM to 07:30 PM Where: The Culver City Senior Center - 4095 Overland Ave, Culver City, CA 90232
Everyone holds implicit biases. That doesn’t make us “bad people,” it just means that we have some work to do. In this free, in-person, training hosted by the City of Culver City and facilitated by Right to Be, explore what implicit bias is, how it develops, its impact in society, and the role it plays in all aspects of life.
Start by learning the brain science behind implicit bias, and how the part of the brain that used to protect us now holds us back. Through polls, brief thought experiments, and journaling, reflect on how implicit bias can show up in our actions and the impacts those biases can have on ourselves and our teams.
Then, roll up your sleeves up and get to work! Practice four concrete strategies that you can begin to use to mitigate bias in your own life. Located at the Culver City Senior Center in Rooms B45 and B47, space is limited so Register Today!
Resilience: This Moment and Beyond
When: Wednesday, September 25, 2024 | 06:00 PM to 07:30 PM Where: The Culver City Senior Center - 4095 Overland Ave, Culver City, CA 90232
Resilience is especially important when working through crisis and trauma. The City of Culver City and Right to Be, is offering this free interactive, and experiential learning opportunity to teach you how to author your own resilience, using Right To Be’s resilience methodology: sit with what is, create your story, and be in choice.
Start by talking about what resilience really is, and how it’s different (and harder) than self-care. Explore how we’re making sense of this moment — and how that’s shaping our experience of it. Then, using guided practice, learn how to hold pain and still find joy and learn practices to recover quickly when we’re knocked down by the world.
