White Supremacy Culture: Creating Inclusive Communities [Webinar]
November 5, 2021 @ 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM CDT
Nov 5 | 6-7pm Eastern
White Supremacy Culture: Creating Inclusive Communities
Join author and coach, Crystal Farmer, for a FREE 1-hour interactive webinar on how white supremacy culture shows up in intentional communities and how you can pivot towards a more inclusive culture.
White supremacy culture is the set of values and priorities we hold consciously or unconsciously based on our upbringing. We can create more cooperative and just communities by raising our awareness of these toxic characteristics and consciously pivoting to a more inclusive culture.
Key outcomes of this webinar:
- Learn about the characteristics of white supremacy culture and how they show up in intentional communities
- Explore your cultural values and how they may prevent others from feeling welcome
- Practice challenging toxic assumptions about others based on their ways of moving through the world
If you are ready to dig deeper into fostering an inclusive community, this session is also a great introduction to Crystal’s 5-week Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity course.
“Crystal is competent and direct at addressing what I think are the most important considerations for affordable and inclusive intentional living spaces going forward. The middle-class white “normative” home ownership model of cohousing is wonderful for those already privileged in our culture’s financial systems to help them create less isolation and a sense of community – I’m thrilled it is an option for them. But it does NOT represent the equitable and progressive housing needs of the future if we are to thrive as a diverse collective…. Crystal really ignited more pragmatic hope and commitment in me and that is PRICELESS!”

Teri’s presence, warmth, poise, experience and clarity. I quickly felt at ease and confident that she knew what she was talking about, and could share the material effectively, while also managing the group format. – Jeffrey B
