We’re excited to present Race & Grace, a program that engages race through grace-filled lenses. With a focus on relationships, Race & Grace will create space for us to wrestle with matters of race that have shaped our stories and life experiences in an effort to begin truly seeing and hearing each other, which is one step in the work of the much-needed healing in this region.

There will be four Cohorts, each meeting once a month over six months with the same group. We’re employing this model with the hopes of fostering deeper relationships among members of each diverse cohort, the effects of which will spread into other spaces participants occupy outside of the group. Leon Sharpe, Founder and Principal of The Praxis Group, LLC is the facilitator of Cohort 1. Leon is gifted in creating sacred space in which people can speak their truths while remaining open to the hearing of others’ truths. Cohort 1 will gather once a month for six months on the following Wednesdays from 6-8:30 pm:
