Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Audit of Shalom Mountain Retreat Center
- This RFP was uploaded by the owner.
For more than 40 years, people from all walks of life have been coming to Shalom Mountain, Inc. (SMI) and experiencing transformation and healing in their journey of self-discovery. Many people are searching for a new direction in life or to deepen their spiritual journeys. People in partnered relationships come to find new paths in loving each other, with a desire to be fully alive in their relationships. Some come to heal old wounds that they have carried for too long and now want to lay down. Others arrive here because they need to grieve their losses and know joy once again.
Shalom Mountain was founded as a 'hope structure', calling people to live passionately and with compassion in the world. We are called to be more conscious, loving and fully alive. Amongst our community, there has been a growing recognition that most of our community and SMI as an institution has been asleep to the impacts of structural and institutional racism on the development and delivery of our programs, the ability for Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) to safely access those programs and for white Shalomers to explore and reflect upon their own unconscious complicities and white privilege.
