Testimonials

"White Ally Learning Lab is such a precious resource to have a space to really reveal and heal our stuff - to clean up our side of the communications without dragging people of color into all our white defensiveness and guilt. Thank you for the WALL group. Lauren and Kristin provided a safe place to really explore our own minds and find some room to live wider in our world."
— Kath, mother, musician

"Before WALL, I saw racism around me but I didn’t put words to it. Now my discussions are mixed with a more heightened awareness and appreciation of the qualities and contributions of other races. The White Ally Learning Lab opened my eyes to what I hadn’t seen or didn’t want to see. It opened my eyes to the blindness of our society or at least those in charge – white people."
— Daniel, IT Specialist

"The White Ally Learning Lab was unlike any other diversity training, or white privilege class I've participated in. The WALL was unique in terms of bringing spirituality to bear on our social and personal struggles around race."
— Mandie, Student Affairs, UCSC

“I recommend the White Ally Learning Lab to every white person I know. I used to feel that I was cultureless as a white person and that individual culture was not as important as the commonality of being human. After taking the WALL, I now feel more clarity around myself as a part of a culture.”
— Dana, writer

“I recommend the WALL for anyone who wants to participate in social change that begins on a personal level. The lab artfully, honestly and deeply explores our connection to healing the wounds of racism, and other isms, in our society.”
—Susan, educational counselor, consultant

“Thank you again for your ground-breaking work. WALL is both very challenging and kind. So that as my awareness of my need for deep unlearning happens, as I am challenged, I am able to forgive myself. That forgiveness allows me to go deeper. I came away with increased understanding of our society’s racial constructs, with techniques and language to address racism, and a clear knowing of why I am an ally to people of color.”
— Gypsy, retired

“The Whiteness Learning Lab has left me with subtle, yet dramatic changes in my consciousness. It has definitely strengthened my resolve to increase my energies toward “peeling away the layers of the onion” of my own racism. The shift in my consciousness from trying to “fix it” to working on becoming the change I want to see in the world is a beautiful outgrowth from the WALL.”
— Molly, mother of adopted Guatemalan child
