What do you believe?

In The Culture of Respect, we believe that fear, stereotypes, misinformation, prejudice, discrimination, and unequal distribution and access to resources, power, and privilege in the form of education, jobs, housing, health care, media, politics, and the judicial system are the dynamics that fuel all systems of oppression.

Who are we?

We are engineers, mathematicians, teachers, scientists, social workers, leaders, executives, entrepreneurs, designers, educators, students, and more…

We are mothers, fathers, parents, sisters, brothers, nibblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and friends

We have all been where you are today: frustrated with an unjust world. We were fed up with shouting into the void or preaching to the choir. We wanted to know what we could do about it…

Today, we are a community of human beings committed to listening, sharing, compassion, acceptance, lifelong learning, and positive change

Belonging (n): to be seen, understood, and valued without needing to change yourself.

Spend 10 weeks getting to know yourself, your fellow human beings, and the world around you like never before.

Enrich your life and the lives of the people around you by learning to practice unconditional acceptance and inclusion.

The Culture of Respect Community

Continuing the Conversation.

Our online community and periodic events create new containers to continue the work started in the course. You don’t have to complete the course to attend events, but only folks who complete the course can join our online discussion forum. Both are spaces to safely explore dangerous topics with our diverse group of trained facilitators from the comfort of your own space.

More than a course… an experience
