In observance of the 2025 National Day of Racial Healing the Hope College Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation Campus Center will host a Racial Healing Circle on Tuesday, January 21st that will bring together members of the local community to engage in the sharing of stories, relationship building, and continue to work toward narrative change in our community. The circle structure incorporates multiple segments, including a circle opening and closing, an introductory segment, group agreements, re-introductory prompt(s), and deep reflection prompt(s). Participants are encouraged to share their authentic stories in dyads as well as in small- and large-group settings. Registration is required in advance. Please indicate your interest and you will receive a response as to whether space is still available to participate. If space is available, you will receive confirmation for the Racial Healing Circle. Due to the nature of a Racial Healing Circle, we ask that participants be present for the whole event. :) 11:00am – 11:30am Gathering time (light refreshments) 11:30am – 1:00pm Circle Time (circle will begin promptly at 11:30)
