Healing Black Lives – Online Retreat

Streaming Online CA, United States

Join us for HEALING BLACK LIVES, a day of healing specifically for people of the African diaspora. In this time of physical distancing, we are offering a modified retreat via Zoom's online video platform. During these tumultuous times, many of us are bombarded with images and reports that Black community will be most heavily impacted by this current public health threat which is perpetuated by structural racism, classism and other marginalization. We know that as tides rise, it is often Black folks that suffer the greatest consequences. Witnessing the current impact on ourselves, our loved ones, and communities carries physical and spiritual weight. Gather in sacred (virtual) community affirming that OUR BLACK LIVES MATTER. Facilitated by: Rev. Kamal Hassan & Xan West, the retreat includes: Practices for sustainability, resilience, and spiritual well-being Community connection and support Finding strength in ourselves and one another Sharing hopes and visions PREREGISTRATION IS REQUIRED so we can send you the information to securely access Zoom. Tuition is sliding scale with scholarships available and no one ever turned away for lack of funds. Click to register: bit.ly/healingblacklives
