Rediscover and Reclaim Yourself, Your Story & Heritage for Health & Social Liberation
Join us for an empowering gathering dedicated to amplifying the voices of BIPOC and the Global Majority as they share their personal journeys of liberation, transformation, and healing. Our March event, themed “The Legacy of Our Roots,” celebrates the powerful journey from our ancestors to who we are today. It honours the strength, wisdom, and resilience passed down through generations—even as we grapple with the difficult memories of land theft, oppression, and cultural erasure that have shaped our collective experience.
At this event, our dynamic speaker talks will not only offer inspirational stories from diverse voices but also share practical tips and self-care methods for coping with the challenges of our world right now. Our practitioners will blend heartfelt narratives with accessible strategies—from breathwork and meditation to creative expression and community-based healing traditions—designed to empower you in reclaiming agency and nurturing your wellbeing.
We recognise that our history is complex. Many of our ancestors, whether our own or those in neighbouring communities, have been both victims and, at times, unwitting participants in the struggles that have defined our past. Acknowledging these difficult truths is essential before genuine reparations and healing can begin for us and future generations. In a time when indigenous rights and the expression of individual realities are under threat globally, this event is more crucial than ever. It is a space for us to remember, reflect, and rebuild a future based on truth, justice, and collective healing.
Join us to listen, learn, and celebrate the liberation and wisdom of our community—building solidarity and equipping ourselves with the tools to navigate and thrive in a challenging world.
Anyone interested in learning from diverse perspectives, including healthcare practitioners, educators, community organizers, allies, and individuals seeking inspiration and tools for personal or professional growth.
The purpose of this event is to acknowledge the socioeconomic and global diversity within our local area, while reflecting on how we can better incorporate inclusivity and cultural awareness into community spaces. By listening, learning, and connecting through shared experiences and practical tools, we can work toward creating a more inclusive, understanding, and supportive community.
Over 16's only.
Tickets include all talks, workshops, and healing for the entire event.
