During the Baltimore ice storm in January, we recorded this podcast with THE Ron Berger over Zoom from our own homes.

“School has become…in every country I work in…It really is preparing for exams. Like that’s somehow become the point of school. But that’s not what life is about. Life is about the quality of the work you do and the kind of human being you are.”

The Workshop: Balm for the Younger Self, A Letter to the You Who Needed to Hear It

This workshop is for anyone who carries a younger self inside them—which is all of us. Parents, educators, students, community members. This work is for you if you've ever wished someone had told you the truth sooner, or if you're ready to tell it to yourself now. This workshop creates space to speak to your younger self with honesty and care. You'll leave with a letter you can keep, revise, or even burn—and with a practice for holding yourself (and others) with the kind of love that doesn't require perfection. This is testimony as healing, plain speech as gift.

Required Materials:
Bring a photo of yourself as a child. In this workshop, you'll write a letter to your younger self—not to fix the past or rewrite your story, but to offer recognition, rootedness, and the kind of love that sees clearly. What does that younger you need to know? What truth would have changed everything? We'll write, reflect, and share in community, practicing the Womanist love that refuses to look away from our complicated truths.
