At this time on our planet, when many things seem to be on fire, literally and figuratively, we must be creative in responding to all that is burning, churning, crumbling, and being dismantled. Systems of oppression make us feel limited in our response to the magnitude of what we are up against. Yet, we have the power to dream and vision outside of systems of oppression such as white supremacy, the cishet patriarchy, capitalism, ableism, and all systems meant to further fracture us from ourselves and one another. In fact, we must learn to dream outside of the constraints of systems that thrive on upholding a hierarchy of bodies and keep us disconnected from our true nature, individually and collectively. The process of dreaming during dream time as we slumber allows us to come up with divine solutions for problems that previously seemed impenetrable, such as the systems of oppression and climate chaos we are experiencing at this time. Bringing our dreams into waking life allows us to implement these solutions. 

We are living in a time when wakefulness and compassion are essential in order to realize freedom together. Join activist, social justice warrior, and author Michelle Cassandra Johnson and meditation teacher Caverly Morgan for an on campus program that shares wisdom from their newest books, We Heal Together and The Heart of Who We Are.

As Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, many of us are searching for spaces where we can be in community with other BIPOC to experience joy and self-love, practice self and collective care, and slow down and rest. Join Michelle C. Johnson and Shakira B. Bethea for an opportunity to prioritize your well-being and the theme of what it is like to create a sanctuary within and around oneself.

Sanctuary is a day-long retreat for BIPOC to create sacred space and creatively express our authentic selves through meditation, movement, and community connection.

Join us for a soul-nourishing and fun day!
