The Tussling: A Journey With Whiteness

There is an emotional experience that sits beneath the surface of whiteness, and a predictable way that it moves when met with awareness. It unfolds itself through the body in four phases. Four phases that now sit at the heart of this program, The Tussling.

The Tussling makes room for a gentler, yet more impactful approach to long-lasting and deeply-felt change. Rather than an educational program, it is and experiential one which offers a framework to journey your own life through. A series of tasks will guide you into the content of your own life, making the information you tussle with personal and relevant to your own day-to-day.

Week 1: ACTIVELY ENTERING

Journey into new awareness around what it takes to actively enter race-based conversations in a way that supports transformation and healing.

Week 2: ASSESSING PROXIMITY

Learn new ways to journey into deeper proximity with the people around you, so that conversations can journey to places they never have before.

Week 3: WEARING WHITENESS

Learn how to move big emotions that arise internally in relation to whiteness in order to comfortably move through the world as you are.

Week 4: SEEKING STILLNESS

Find an internal stillness that creates space for new insight, wisdom and a greater capacity to truly facilitate race-based change through your being.

The Tussling truly has been a gift, wow. Gratitude to Yana who has been an incredible facilitator to this powerful journey. The framework is unique and the content captivating. I have gained valuable tools that will allow me to show up in conversations based around race from a neutral, openly curious and engaged presence without backing out due to fear of ‘getting it wrong’. The journey encourages powerful alchemy internally when bringing awareness to and tapping into the subtleties of the body in response to highly charged topics around race. I no longer feel irrelevant to race based conversations, in fact now if and when I feel called to- when the conversation arises, I feel confident to show up and participate with an open heart and centered sense of self. It has given me the permission piece I was looking for to show up; for self-responsibility, for awareness, for validity.

As you journey the Tussling you will digest and integrate new concepts, new approaches to understanding contextual racial based plugs ins on how we live and interact as a collective. New insights will land popcorn style. I am so grateful to now be able to navigate through previously perceived uncomfortable engagements such as important conversations around race which are prevalent but sometimes aren’t addressed in the most effective and progressive way. This framework holds our future to healing through heart centered communication, awareness and connection. I have a knowing this work will ripple out and out and benefit many. My eyes have been opened to a new way in which I perceive the world and relate to the collective. Thank you.
