   Exploring Class
Saturday, February 11th, 9 AM-5 PM
An opportunity for intensive dialogue about a taboo topic! 



*	What class did you grow up in? What strengths and limitations came
out


of your class background?



*	How has your class background affected your relationships with
people of


the same and different
classes?



*	What are key elements in your class culture? How do different class
cultures


look? What would you like to ask people who grew up in completely different
class backgrounds?



*	What are the larger economic and political factors affecting class
now?


How do class dynamics show up in your life? Your work? Your home? Your
community?



*	What are steps you can take to overcome class barriers in your life


personally and institutionally?



*	How do you decide how much to pay, how do you value different
choices


you make?

Join a diverse group to explore these questions and more!

Location: ARISE for Social Justice, Springfield, MA

Cost: We use a radical sliding scale (during the workshop you will go
through a process, called Cost Sharing,
to determine the amount you will actually pay). The average costs are
often about $200, but in the past participants
have paid between 0 and $600. If transportation issues or childcare
costs would get in your way, please contact us and
we will try to help. Contact us with other needs.

Registration is required. For more information please contact Class
