You’re invited to our Heal the Healers Convening, Feb. 27 – March 1! This pivotal, three-day event will be a transformative 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 creating portals of rest and nourishing rest practices 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.
Each day, we will have workshops led by experts with lived experience. You may design your own journey through the tracks below:
SOMATIC
Somatic treatments, such as body work, yoga, Tai Chi, massage, and self-touch, offer profound benefits for rest, self-care, and community care by focusing on the connection between mind and body. These practices help individuals release physical tension and stress, facilitating deeper relaxation and enhancing overall well-being.
SPIRITUAL
Practices such as mindfulness, meditation, and conscious contact with a higher power encourage individuals to pause and reflect, promoting mental relaxation and emotional balance. Spiritual traditions often emphasize the importance of self-compassion and personal well-being, guiding individuals to prioritize self-care routines that nourish both body and spirit.
ART
Engaging in artistic activities, such as painting, drawing, or crafting, allows individuals to relax and unwind, reducing stress and facilitating mental rejuvenation. Art encourages self-care by offering a means of self-expression and reflection, helping individuals process emotions and gain insight into their personal experiences.
MENDING WOUNDS
Trauma healing often involves creating safe spaces for individuals to process their experiences and emotions, which fosters relaxation and mental clarity. This process supports self-care by helping individuals develop healthier coping mechanisms and self-awareness.

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. ROOT calls for us to reclaim our humanity and return to our ancestral roots through rest and restoration. In this space, we lift up our elders, healers, guides, artists, and community culture bearers intergenerationally, holding our communities through joy, grief, and passing ancestral practices. We believe we must honor our healers by curating spaces where we can center rest and shared practices can emerge.
