Masterclass with Nova Reid

We’ve listened to student feedback and taken the most popular, vital and challenging lessons from the acclaimed course, Becoming Anti-Racist with Nova Reid, and decided to make them available as a powerful Mini Masterclass Series.

From navigating shame to understanding microaggressions, these self-directed mini masterclasses are a less overwhelming entry point into the difficult but essential work of anti-racism, offering a powerful, concise intervention that jump-starts the process of addressing racism and moves people from being well-meaning bystanders to conscious, confident change-makers - and with Nova’s trauma-informed approach and emphasis on mental well-being, this makes even a short masterclass highly impactful.

Why a mini masterclass series? 

 

  • A mini masterclass offers a shorter, more manageable duration, making it more accessible if you are time poor, or feel hesitant to commit to a year-long learning journey.

  • Get a taste of Nova’s impactful teaching style at a more accessible price point.

  • Get direct access to some of the lessons students have consistently described as life-changing.

  • Reduce overwhelm and get focused. Focusing on one specific topic in depth can allow you to gain immediate, actionable knowledge and skills.

 

Who is this for? 

These masterclasses are appropriate for new learners who want to be challenged, established learners who want a refresher and those who want a no-nonsense, deeper, trauma-informed approach to anti-racist practice.

This is not for the faint-hearted though and only for those ready to roll their sleeves up and get to work.

Appropriate for individuals &  socially conscious organisations: In this climate, this work is non-negotiable - with this flexible format, individuals can embark on their personal unlearning, and businesses can strategically use these focused masterclasses to explore essential topics, to upskill courageous teams.

Overwhelm, fear of saying the wrong thing, or being scared to speak up - are common, human challenges that all lead to the same critical outcome, inaction. Inaction leads to complicity, which causes harm and reproduces racism. 

This Masterclass Series is your bite-sized learning opportunity to interrupt that cycle. It provides the tools and skills to move past lip-service and truly build the courage, clarity, and competence required to consistently embody anti-racism and reduce harm.

Understanding Microaggressions

£116.40 (INCLUSIVE OF 20% VAT) for 3 months access

“The world won’t change until we do” 

NOVA REID

So many people think that racism is only defined by overt, conscious, and intentional acts of hate - that it is only overt, conscious, and intentional acts of hate, leading people to get "stuck in a reductive good vs. bad person binary."

  • This is a common misconception that stops us from addressing racism in all its forms such as - microaggressions - and it is causing  harm.

    Microaggressions are a form of everyday racism that happen intentionally and unintentionally, consciously and subconsciously - by everyone, including people and institutions who claim to be anti-racist.

    Stop causing harm, improve your racial literacy and understand the insidious nature and profound impact of microaggressions and be empowered to become an agent of change. 

    In this masterclass you will:

    • Understand what microaggressions are and how they function

    • Understand liberal racism is

    • Learn the link between trauma and racial microassessions 

    • Build racial literacy

Developing Self Care

£116.40 (INCLUSIVE OF 20% VAT) for 3 months access

“Caring for myself is not self indulgence, it is self preservation and that is an act of political warfare”

AUDRE LORDE

Self care is an important foundation for our overall wellbeing and is vital in social justice work

  • Self care builds resilience, self worth and a positive sense of self, helping us to better deal with and recover from conflict and challenge.

    It also reduces the risk of burnout which is rampant in activist spaces. If we treat our bodies as machines by being in service  - this poses risk to our impact and our wellbeing.

    In this mini masterclass you will learn:

    • What self care actually is beyond bath bombs and candles

    • Why self care is vital in anti-racism work and beyond

    • How to develop resilience

    • How to trust your body wisdom

    • How to avoid burnout

    • How to cope when the going gets tough

Understanding Shame

£176.40 (INCLUSIVE OF 20% VAT) for 3 months access - INCLUDES COMPLIMENTARY ACCESS TO DEVELOPING SELF CARE.

“The most groundbreaking work I have ever seen on shame”
JEN, STUDENT

Shame is a human condition - yet too many of us move through the world with unprocessed shame - Which I believe is one of the biggest barriers to human evolution and the biggest barrier to meaningfully addressing racism. 

  • Most people claim they are anti-racist and continue to cause harm because they are not remotely dealing with their shame, which in turn gets projected onto other people through rage, through apathy, through passive aggression, through acts of hate and worse.

    If you want to be anti-racist you have to learn how to process shame - there is no avoiding it.

    In this three-part mini masterclass series you will learn:

    • What shame truly is

    • How to better understand shame

    • Understanding shame and its link to trauma

    • How shame shows up in our everyday behaviour

    • How to build shame resilience

    • Recognising common behavioural responses to feeling shame and what to do about it

    • How to take care of yourself without harming yourself or others when shame rears its head

    • How to combat shame especially when you do something wrong - because you will and you’ll survive.

    This series comes with free access to self-care as a prerequisite to shame. You will need to take care of yourself as you complete this masterclass and recommend you start with self-care first before beginning with shame. The self-care masterclass is there to support you.
