HURWITZ
COACH | Consultant | FACILITATOR
Many of us have been struck in recent years by what we’ve learned about racism in our culture, our relationships, our selves.
Many of us struggle to figure out how to make things better—without making things worse. I struggle, too.
As a long-time educator, sole proprietor, and student of racial equity with the goal of liberation, I’ve created some concrete tools to offer.

Events
I offer workshops, meetings and circles infused with the stuff of equity: shared voices, deep listening, non-hierarchical set-ups that convey anti-oppression sensibilities in their very structure. I facilitate alone or with fabulous colleagues.
A few weeks ago I took a bus downtown to meet some colleagues at a Free Palestine rally. I was looking out the window when we stopped at a corner. Outside, on the sidewalk very close to the curb, a woman snoozed in a wheelchair. Her head bobbed toward her chest as she breathed. Every time her head bobbed, her wheelchair inched closer to the curb. The brake wasn't on. I could see what was about to happen.
