Healing in Community - Online Summit

 These are uncertain and heartbreaking times meant to make us feel overwhelmed and immobilized. Part of what dominant culture does is encourage us to push through, rather than feel and move through. Today, our practice is to understand what culture is made of, how toxic it can be, and to honor our feelings and the grief that comes from being alive at this time. Unprocessed grief leads to more individual and collective suffering. We cannot truly cultivate conditions for liberation to occur unless we process our grief.

Over the course of 20 interviews with change-makers, activists, yoga teachers, and spiritual leaders, we’ll explore conversation about grief, its definition, the lessons we’ve learned, collective liberation, rituals and practices, and more. 

Beginning January 25th, the FREE Healing in Community Online Summit will consist of:

  • 3 weekly videos — released Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays; these videos will be available for all who register throughout the duration of the summit

  • additional opportunities for engagement and support, in the form of journaling prompts and podcast episodes

  • a Facebook group to gather for discussion, questions, and feedback

Ray Warren Symposium on Race and Ethnic Studies: Mental Health is Not Just for White People

Panel description: What does mental health look like for people of color? In what ways have mental health care systems focused on white people, and what have been the consequences? This panel will raise questions about the cultural exclusivity of “mental health,” asking who has access to a doctor’s diagnosis or to an education about mental illness. We will also examine how racism affects mental health treatment and produces higher rates of medical conditions that generate significant psychological challenges. Additionally, this panel will explore responses within communities of color to develop transformative practices and new resources.
