Aug 5, 12, 19 | 10:00am – 12:00pm PT

Session 1 (Aug 5): From Allyship to Relationship Where self-awareness meets what allyship has actually looked like in practice. We explore the difference between allyship as a label and relationship as a lived practice — and name the patterns, like extractive practice, that keep people stuck at the label.

• What allyship means to you — and where that understanding came from
• Privilege, bias, and lived experience: how our position shapes what we notice
• Extractive practice: when we take without giving back
• Relationship, reciprocity, and humility as the alternative to allyship-as-identity

Session 2 (Aug 12): Power, Silence, and the Space Between Intention and Impact Building the self-regulation to stay present when impact and intention don’t match. This session names what quietly blocks relationship — even among people with good intentions.

• How power and privilege operate quietly in everyday interactions
• Intention vs. impact: why good intentions don’t neutralize harm
• Bystanding, tokenism, and silencing — the ways we avoid discomfort instead of staying present
• Recognizing your own patterns, in real time, without collapsing into shame

Session 3 (Aug 19): From Performance to Practice Relational capacity as a lived practice — responsibility, reciprocity, repair. This is where the series turns from naming the problem to practicing the alternative.

• Responsibility: owning impact regardless of intention
• Reciprocity: relationship as a two-way exchange, not a one-way act of generosity
• Repair: what actually happens after harm — the part most people skip
• What it looks like to be in relationship, not just accountable, the next time you get it wrong
