​Community Gatherings

Community Dialogue, Potluck, & Poetry
a monthly dialogue that incorporates the power of story, spoken word poetry, and mindful, brave group facilitation, all working together to create healing space across human difference for conscious action

​Healing Us: Space for people who are black or of the African diaspora
a monthly, racial affinity space for people of African descent or of the African diaspora to engage affirmation, work together to heal internalized oppression, and engage liberation


​​Learning Us: Space for people who are white or of European descent
a monthly, racial affinity space for people of European descent to explore their whiteness, concepts of white supremacy, working to transform patterns of dominance into shared power and mutuality


Seeing Us: Space for non-black, non-white people of color or culture
a monthly, racial affinity space for indigenous, non-white, non-black people of color of various racial indentities (i.e., Mexican, Latinx, Hispanic, Filipino, Chinese, Korean, Colombian, etc.) to engage affirmation, work together to heal internalized oppression, engage liberation and dismantle white supremacist thinking that leads to anti blackness


​​​Reading for Transformation

a monthly book study, including books that amplify the voices of marginalized communities across the world, leading to lively, intentional dialogue around global oppression, indigenous healing, and transformative ways of working in the world

No Words
​
no words is space fueled by sound healing music and art. Inspired by the Solfeggio scale, the Ancient Egyptian use of the vowel sound, and many other healing uses of sound from our collective vibrational history, we are excited to curate music from various places and cultures around the world.
