Recovery from the Dominant Culture (a 12 Step Program)

July 1, 2014 — 5 Comments

In June, we launched a 12 Step Program for folks who are addicted to Empire. The group meets Tuesday nights at 7:45pm at 2420 11th Ave S, Minneapolis. The program was developed by Seminary of the Street in Oakland, California. This is how they describe the program:

We have all been molded and shaped to some degree by the systems in which we live and by the worldview that underlies them, which includes individualism, white supremacy, the idealization of self-sufficiency, dubious ideas about how to achieve security, status, and esteem, and so on. That is not to say that we have succumbed completely. In fact, quite the opposite is true. We have probably all resisted as much as we can. Still, prolonged exposure to this culture has hurt us and diminished our humanity. We want it back. In this ongoing experimental 12-step program, we will focus on recovery from this process.

All are invited.
