Impact Silver Spring
Impact Silver Spring’s Weaver Learning Lab – applications due September 18
The Weaver Learning Lab is a learning experience designed around the core belief that we need a radical restructuring of systems rooted in the creation of a new culture based on the principles of liberation. Now, with 63 Weavers who have participated in the lab, we are ecstatic to offer the 4th cohort this fall!
The Lab is a space to slow down and take a more holistic approach to addressing racism. With an emphasis on the inner awareness needed for outward action, Weavers explore the challenges in seeking racial equity, justice, and liberation alongside others on the same journey. We invite you to apply to phase 1 of the Weaver Learning Lab before September 18 by clicking on this link.
