Discrimination, Racism, Sexism, Ableism, etc are functions of the systems we live in. We also live in a society that keeps us from our power by imprinting harmful patterns of behavior: perfectionism, conflict avoidance, shame, denial and defensiveness, binary “either/or” thinking. Making Welcome is an antidote to these toxic patterns.
