Transforming Racism from the Inside Out
Essay from Ruth King, emotional wisdom author

- Turning towards our heartbreak and learning how it can be a gateway to our unique calling
- Training in new skills to tap our inner resources for strength and hope
- How to take the perspective of “the other,” uncover racial bias, and reflect deeply on questions of class and privilege
- How to find an unconditional joy in our connection with ourselves and each other
- What it means to stand with the most vulnerable members of our society and put yourself on the critical path of being a change-maker
Waking Up in the World is an invitation to explore new perspectives, reflect deeply, and join the ever-growing movement of people who are transforming themselves—and the world.
Every generation has its tasks required to move our collective evolution forward. Let’s engage wholeheartedly in ours.
