Mythology underpins our archetypal sensibilities for our human lives. During our time together, we will explore how the African mythologies of Esu and those of the Greek Sisyphus merge in telling our contemporary 21st-century story of racial trauma and potential healing related to cultural racial complexes.
The deepening of consciousness that has required us to consider the intergenerational nature of racial trauma can also require us to find the depths of our collective cultural stories in seeking solutions to racism, race, and raciality. In our discussions, we can hope to explore how, when, and to whom racialized enactments occur. We can seek within our conversations to find those places within ourselves owning personal individuation, engaged community, and collective participation. These can serve as sources of potential salvation, through finding the remedy for healing our American cultural poison of racial suffering.
