Our facilitation practice fuses embodied participation with critical reflection and data driven tools. We tailor each facilitation to the unique challenges of your field, and begin our work with a shared understanding of power and privilege that is field specific. We are experienced in curriculum design, training, facilitating conversations, developing racial equity leaders, and steering organizations toward becoming racially just. We find clients come to the work of racial equity most often after an organizational trauma or conflict, therefore we center joy, healing, and reconciliation as the primary methodology for racial equity workshops. InSite offers a wide-range of single workshops, day-long retreats, ongoing partnerships. All workshops include:
- Initial phone conversation and needs assessment
- Tailored workshop to your professional field
- Feedback notes/take aways
- 1 hour post-consultation

Addressing Whiteness3 hoursIn this workshop, we invite participants to dismantle the ways that whiteness operates to block the processes and outcomes of racial equity. Addressing Whiteness examines “whiteness,” to understand how hierarchies of whiteness operate, intentionally and unintentionally, in institutional, organizational and personal spaces which prohibit racial equity. We provide tools to move beyond diversity to think of equity as a form of radical power-sharing.

Creative InSurgency Trainings
Racial Equity in the Arts3 hoursEquity in the arts cultivates the radical roots of creative/artistic practices in ways that uphold community organizing strategies and seek to prevent displacement (imprisonment, loss of home, state sanctioned premature death, deportations) of marginalized communities. This workshop helps practitioners delink the arts from private development and gentrification practices, and fuse cultural/artistic practices with feminist praxis to demand power-sharing, policy change, and to positively impact the material lives of those most impacted by disparity.

Politics of Place
How do we build deep knowledge of historically marginalized communities in ways that are not harmful? Using a unique blend of community building, storytelling, and research, participants learn how to understand the histories of place through a racialized and gendered practice that makes visible the experience of communities most impacted by structural violence and oppression.
