Reclaiming Our Own Time (ROOT) is part of an ever-growing movement to provide resources, support, and spaces for rest and restoration for Black, Indigenous, and Persons of Color movement leaders. In this space, we lift up our elders, healers, guides, artists and culture bearers who have been holding our communities through joy, grief, and passing ancestral practices intergenerationally. We believe we must honor our healers by curating spaces where we can center rest and shared practices can emerge.
We’re excited to invite you to a community conversation to help shape two virtual events and a three-day “Heal the Healers” convening in winter 2025. The healer’s convening promises to be a sanctuary of rest, reflection and rejuvenation amidst workshops on holistic care and professional growth. As an act of revolution and movement building, attendees will immerse themselves in sessions advocating the necessity of self-care, from meditation techniques to stress management. Experts will share insights on how rest prevents burnout, fosters resilience, and nurtures mental health. As participants experience connection and harmony within, the alignment reduces anxiety, promotes clarity of mind, and cultivates a profound sense of spiritual well-being. Rest creates space for contemplation, renewal, and a deeper understanding of one’s purpose and values.
We want to tailor this conference to meet the needs of our local community. We would like your suggestions for regional and national presenters, workshop ideas, experiences you’d like to have, and ways to network. If you’d like to inform us about this process, please join us for a one-hour Zoom meeting on Thursday, Sept. 26, from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
