What is a community healing circle? It’s an opportunity to connect and talk about your own lived experience and learn from others. Community healing circles create a caring environment where empathy is allowed to flourish and people from all walks of life can engage in courageous conversations about race and personal experience.
A Community Healing Circle is…
- An experience in understanding our common humanity and learning to see ourselves in one another.
- Stories as a powerful tool for promoting racial healing and positive bridging with all people regardless of identities.
- An inclusive, expansive, and ongoing process.
