EGPS Work Group for Racial Equity

Mission Statement

The Work Group for Racial Equity of the Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society aims to initiate opportunities for members to examine how racism is embedded in individuals’ unconscious, in groups, and in our organization. Utilizing a collaborative process, the work group supports EGPS efforts to integrate awareness about race and racism in professional events and presentations.

The Work Group also seeks to enhance members’ understanding of the impact of institutional racism on their work, encourages members’ examination of internalized racial oppression and works with the Board of Directors to strengthen our racial equity lens.

Healing from racial injustice is a result of learning and struggling together. We hope all members will join EGPS in this work.

Finding Liberation in Rest

Please join for a discussion of “Rest is Resistance” written by poet, performance artist, activist, Nap Bishop and New York Times Bestselling author, Tricia Hersey. Hersey is the founder of the Nap Ministry, which “moves us beyond mainstream concepts of wellness, challenging us to study the ways in which our divinity, higher purpose and ability to resist violent, oppressive systems are intertwined with how we access our rest, imagination and DreamSpace.”

We aim to have a rich discussion about the pitfalls of hustle culture, discovering new ways to connect to our individual and collective liberation through rest practices.
