out of your class background? How has your class background
affected your relationships with people of the same and different
classes?

class cultures look? What would you like to ask people who grew up
in completely different class backgrounds?

now?
* How do class dynamics show up in your life? Your work? Your home?
Your community?
* What are steps you can take to overcome class barriers in your
life personally and institutionally?

choices you make?
Join a diverse group to explore these questions and more!
Cost: We use a radical sliding scale (during the workshop you will go
through a process, called Cost Sharing, to determine the amount you will
actually pay;each person decides for themself the amount they will pay). The average costs are often about $200, but in the past participants have paid between 0 and $600. If transportation issues or childcare costs would get in your way, please contact us and we will try to help. Contact us with other needs. Bring your lunch, snacks will be provided.
Registration is required. For more info please contact Class Action:
