The Lakeshore Institute for Healing Racism is an initiative of the Ottawa Area Summit on Racism. This course is designed to provide participants with a transformative experience geared to set a course for healing racism in their own lives. This Institute is grounded in the writings of Nathan Rutstein, author of Healing Racism in America and is formatted to promote the sharing of feelings, thoughts, experiences and perspectives among a diverse group of people. The dialogue seeks to dismantle racism and begin healing this disease infecting Americans. The Institute is appropriate for public schools, social service agencies, law enforcement and local government, faith congregations, and the business community. Currently 10-week dialogue courses are offered in the Greater Holland and Tri-Cities areas. Intensive 2-day Institutes are now available.
