Authentic Selves: Welcoming the Other and the Dimensions of Being Human

Ethical, healthy relationships are the foundation of any successful advocacy program, along with empathy, empowerment, and openness. In this workshop, we will explore our sacred stories and personal belief systems, along with three dimensions of humanness, in an effort to open more fully our hearts and minds to the intercultural nature of advocacy based on contextuality, multiple perspectives, and authentic participation. Embracing our authentic self opens us up to welcoming the authenticity of the other.
