Back to: Walking with Truth and Reconciliation- a journey with Rachelle Dallaire
First of all, thank you for being here.
If this is the first time you’ve heard of or watched Rachelle’s presentation, we hope that you’ll both enjoy your time here and will learn something important to you and the work you do. If you’re here to view again, we hope that you will have some new takeaways.
You’re in control of your journey. We invite you to take a seat at the table as we endeavor to walk along with Rachelle as she shares what Truth and Reconciliation mean to her.
Before watching the videos, write down 3 or 4 things that you hope will be covered. It’s helpful to be able to define your learning edge. You may listen a bit differently. You might make a new connection between ideas and across practices.
Take notes. A lot of ideas are covered. You’ll likely be happy you did. Each section has prompts to think further on what is presented.
Pay particular attention to any emotional responses that arise. Immediately after watching each video segment, take a moment or two to reflect and identify your emotional responses and reactions to the materials covered and how they are spoken about.
Questions for self-reflection:
- Did you feel safe when hearing these words? Included?
- Did anything make you sad, or angry? Hopeless? Hopeful?
- Were any of your values and beliefs challenged? Strengthened?
Take the space you need to acknowledge whatever comes up. Be kind to yourself.
