Context, Culture and Community: Conversations on Race, Culture, Gender, Sexuality, and Power
May 18, 2022 @ 10:00 am - June 15, 2022 @ 11:30 am
Come together, build community and grow together.
SUMMER SEASON 22
Sessions on May 18 & June 15, 2022
The Portland EFT community would like to invite you to join us for Context, Culture, and Community: a conversation about culture, context, race, gender, sexuality, and everything else that makes us us!
Attachment and culture are mutually shaping forces that affect everything we do and how we engage with each other in relationships. How do we stay grounded in our EFT attachment model and do effective tangos with our couples, while also acknowledging and working with the impact of systems of power and oppression?
Come along for this exploration and community gathering. We want to have discussions with the EFT community that will help us to grow and for the model to be more inclusive and expansive. We believe that expanding our conversations will strengthen our community and our model.
CCC will be a monthly meeting of the minds where trainers, supervisors and therapists can come together to explore diversity and equity in our work with couples, individuals and families. We will be talking about the process, and how to use the tango to work with more of the complexities related to issues of race and culture that clients bring into our sessions. Each session will have a different session to focus on with different discussants who will bring perspectives into the discussion.
All proceeds will fund the Portland EIJC Fellowship which aims to increase diversity and inclusion in our EFT community as well as other participating communities’ diversity scholarships.

From your host, Sharon Chatkupt Lee, PsyD
I want these gatherings to push the EFT envelope and open up conversations that we as a community need to have. As a white cis-gender woman in the position of trainer in this community, I am working to keep my privilege and power in focus in my interactions with clients, supervises, and trainees and to try to make explicit these aspects of dynamics. I will bring in my perspective on using the tango to be more embodied and present and hope to show one full tango each session. I love teaching the tango because I believe it can help us to be more grounded and embodied and to handle more complexity. I am learning right now in my practice about how to talk about sociocultural context within my tangos. I am not hosting this because I believe I am the expert in this but because I want to grow in community. In this series, I want to look at context and identity within our tangos. I will show some of my sessions from the last year to get us started. I hope to bring in more trainers and supervisors work as we get going.
