On this call, Rev. Lorren Buck, a core consultant with the Racial Healing Initiative, will be facilitating our call as a racial healing workshop.

Resmaa Menakem defines somatic abolitionism as a living, embodied philosophy that requires endurance, stamina, and discernment. On the day we are reminded about the power of love, we will hold space for emergent discussion and somatic sensing while engaging antiracist healing practices. “Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.” - Rev. Dr. MLK Jr. We come together collectively, from a place of connection and fierce loving accountability, to name the patterns and embodied lineages of harm we have inherited from white body supremacy.
