Consciousness Raising Groups

LPSS is currently sponsoring consciousness raising groups for the Transgender, Lesbian, Bisexual and Questioning Women’s Community.

Process: Within a safe, nonjudgmental, confidential group setting, each person examines her own personal experiences on the topic of the week.  The individual personal experiences are then framed in a political context increasing awareness about how the current power structure benefits from transphobia, homophobia, racism, ableism, sexism, heterosexism, etc.

Format: Each consciousness raising series consists of a six to eight week closed group followed by a break before another series, opened to new participants, becomes available.
 
Facilitators: Catherine S. and Heather K.

Future: Consciousness raising groups can address other “isms” and/or other parts of our LGBTQ population to unite our community and foster a sense of understanding and belonging.
