The Delano United Diversity Task Force invites you to join us for a free workshop called “GrayArea Thinking” Thursday, March 23 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Delano Senior Center.
All humans habitually categorize and group others who are “different” from “us,” which often lends to black and white thinking, as in “good” versus “bad” or “native” versus “immigrant” and a host of other isolating labels.
With this presentation, Ellen (Ellie) Krug offers a toolset—Gray Area Thinking—for interacting with diverse humans in a mindful and compassionate way. Attendees will appreciate and value
how it’s necessary to consciously work to “Think Gray!”
Gray Area Thinking is a simple three-part toolset for interacting with diverse humans:
(1) awareness of another human’s vulnerability or suffering;
(2) risk-taking to alleviate or lesson that vulnerability or suffering; and
(3) compassion and kindness for both self and others.
Please join us to learn this easily remembered toolset that you can use in your daily life.
