Theory of Enchantment

Description

Counterweight:

"The Theory of Enchantment is rooted in Dr Martin Luther King’s concept of a Beloved Community, employing social and emotional learning techniques as the starting point to better understanding the complexity of the human condition.   Once given the tools to better assess our humanity and its many complexities, the Theory of Enchantment takes these lessons and applies them to everyone, regardless of ethnicity or creed, with an appreciation of our individual uniqueness.   In essence, the Theory of Enchantment moves us away from caricatures and slogans that create blanket identity groups. This allows participants to develop a self and social awareness that engenders an empathy that is missing in many anti-racism and diversity trainings." (Counterweight slide show)
