Calling In:
Creating Change Without Cancel Culture

Loretta J Ross has created a framework that interrupts reactivity (the sharp reply, the shutdown, the fixed position) to replace it with something you actually chose based on your values. Calling In also does something most communication frameworks don't: it shows you how that reactivity connects to the systems of oppression around you, so the skill isn't just personal, it's usable in the world you're actually navigating.

Join us to see your own patterns more clearly, understand the challenges in front of you with more precision, and build the kind of steadiness that lets you stay in hard conversations instead of leaving them, or the relationship.

Lectures & QA
FOUR Tuesdays | 7pm-9pm EST | Sept 22, Sept 29, Oct 6, Oct 13

Learning Labs
FOUR Thursdays | 7pm-9pm EST | Sept 24, Oct 1, Oct 8, and Oct 15

Cost
$5 for one week (the first week of Lecture and Learning Labs) or $20.00 total for all four weeks

On Tuesdays, learn from the woman who wrote the book on Calling In! With heart and joy, Loretta J. Ross with trainers Dana Chapnick and Faye Holland teach us how to:

• Bridge divides with empathetic communication techniques

• Connect effectively with those who hold different views

• Use strategies for managing difficult interactions with more ease

• Discover ways to deepen your interactions to match your values

• Explore the roots and impacts of cancel culture within larger structures of oppression

• Understand how Calling In is integral to the human rights movement

• Define your purpose and impact within the human rights movement

Every Tuesday, we reserve two Question/Answer blocks for you to gain clarity or to share in community.

Calling In starts with you. Thursdays’ Learning Labs* offer space for deeper self-awareness and reflection. In small groups led by volunteer facilitators, you’ll explore your motivations and experiences, gaining insights into your own real-life impact. How did you come to your current approach to conflict? Where is your edge of discomfort? How can you show up in your values, even in the hardest moments? You'll be empowered to turn theory into meaningful action, fostering a more compassionate and connected life.

*Participation in Learning Labs breakout groups is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. The presence of minors—including infants—is strictly prohibited in or near the breakout group environment, irrespective of their level of participation. All participants are required to have their video on for the entirety of the breakout session. Exceptions and accommodations will only be made upon prior request and with explicit written approval from the LoRossta team.

This course series is 4 lectures and 4 Learning Labs. By signing up for the full course, you will have access to both.

NOTES

If you purchase the $5 option, you will have access to only the first week of the Course, including Learning Labs of that first week. If your purchase of this $5 option is after the first week, you will receive the access to the recording of the first week’s lecture only.

Space may be limited so first come, first served. If space fills beyond capacity, we will reimburse your payment if we cannot accommodate you.

We value inclusion and access for all participants. Given our small team size, limited resources,  and the commitment we have to keep all offerings financially accessible to most, we may not be able to accommodate requests. However, we will make efforts to accommodate where possible.

Contact us if you’d like to make a reasonable accommodation request. Please try to submit any request at least 48 hours in advance of the event.
