Colleges and universities are currently confronting growing movements to dismantle programs and curriculums that include diversity, equity and inclusion language. The Chronicle of Higher Education DEI tracker has tracked changes dismantling DEI efforts at 215 campuses in 32 states. We want to join in community and healing circles to explore how we can and should respond to these threats.
This circle will help participants navigate emotions tied to the challenges and transitions we face in the coming year—whether those feelings are of hope, fear, or uncertainty—and offer tools for moving forward. It’s a space to explore how this moment intersects with personal values, community challenges, and hopes for the future.
Through facilitated conversation, embodiment and mindfulness practices, participants can begin to generate connections to heal the wounds of racial trauma. A healing circle offers a chance to be authentic and vulnerable and take collective action for change.

Right To Be is offering this interactive, and experiential learning experience that will teach you how to author your own resilience, using Right To Be’s resilience methodology: sit with what is, create your story, and be in choice.
We’ll start by talking about what resilience really is, and how it’s different (and harder) than self-care. Using guided practices, we’ll learn how to hold our pain and still find joy. We’ll explore how we’re making sense of this moment — and how that’s shaping our experience of it. And we’ll learn practices to recover quickly when we’re knocked down by the world.
