Learn More Do Better | The Mountain Retreat and Learning Center

Written By: Luke Osteen | Issue: 2020/10 - October

Organizers say that the program will enable participants to:​

Learn how to Be More. Learn More. Do Better;

Do better both as an individual white person, and as a member of the white racial group in America;

Learn how to do more to become an anti-racist (versus a non-racist)

The series will be led by Dr. Rita Brodnax. Dr. Brodnax earned her doctorate in educational leadership with a focus on applying brain research to teaching, learning and communication. Dr. Brodnax is passionate about creating engaging programs that address real world challenges and contribute real world solutions.

Addressing the potential for disruption with such a charged topic, The Mountain states up-front that, “Everyone is expected to come with an open mind and open heart. If a person’s behavior affects the safety or well-being of others, or if it is disruptive to the positive learning community, they run the risk of being removed from aspects of the program or being dismissed from it entirely. These behaviors include, but are not limited to, verbal insensitivity, harassment, or discrimination.”
