On Doing & Undoing Harm (In-Person)

Very few harm doers set out to become one.  Very few people expect someone they love or trust to be accused of harm.  Yet communities seem to cycle through seasons of harm, call out, and silence, often surprised and resistant to acknowledge they or someone they care for are accused.  If the harm doer is not me, then how can I keep my community safe?  If I could be a harm doer, how do I know and what can I do to prevent it?  Taken from the perspective of shame resilience research and human social group behavior, this workshop will explore personal, small group, and community accountability approaches to understand harm as a behavior and interrupt cycles of harm before they become patterns and identity.
