Subject: April 5: Belvie Rooks and Tom DeWolf Presentation at Naropa University in Boulder

 

Hello Friends,

 

If you plan to be in or near Boulder next week, I hope to see you. I’ll be at Naropa University with my friend and colleague Belvie Rooks. In addition to the weekend workshop we’ll be co-facilitating for graduate students in the Environmental Leadership program, we’re doing a presentation that is free and open to the public on Thursday, April 5 at noon. Here are the details:

 

Across the Divides of Race and Difference: What Does Healing Look Like?

With Belvie Rooks and Tom DeWolf

 

What’s it like to be in someone else’s skin? What if the color of the skin is different – say, black and white? What might happen when the descendants of white slave traders and of black people who were enslaved meet? That is the brave and wrenching journey embraced by Thomas DeWolf, whose white ancestors were once the nation’s biggest slave traders, and Belvie Rooks, descendant of African people who were enslaved. Together they depict their remarkable journey to discover what healing looks like…

I realize that several of you don’t live near Boulder, but I included you on the chance that you may be in the area next week OR that you have friends in Boulder to whom you’d like to forward this information.

 

I look forward to seeing any of you that can make it, as well as your friends.

 

Peace,

 

Tom
