Event Details
The event will feature the following two activities:
Guided Meditation - A short meditation to connect with our bodies, the present moment, and cultivate a more centered sense of self
Healing Circle
You’re invited to share and listen to each other’s personal stories from the heart. The Circle is a non-judgmental space where we can deepen into compassion and connection for one another. Through our stories, we create less fear and more love.
These Healing Circles were inspired in response to the many rapid changes our world is currently going through including, in particular, the dehumanizing ICE raids occurring in immigrant communities in Los Angeles and nationally. They are intended to help counter the fear, uncertainty, and isolation that many of us are experiencing. They are also motivated by a deep-seated belief that our fates are inextricably linked and that, ultimately, we are responsible for helping to heal each other and our one, shared world.
Cameras: To facilitate a shared sense of connection, trust, and safety, we ask that you prepare to be on camera throughout the Healing Circle event. Of course, we understand that life situations come up and you may need to briefly turn your camera off. However, if you cannot be on camera throughout the event, please sign up at a time when you can be.
Participation: This is a small, highly interactive event. To better enable authentic communication and healing, please plan to dedicate your full attention to it. If you think that you will be distracted by other activities (i.e. driving, cooking, childcare, etc.) while participating in the Healing Circle, please sign up at a time when you can be more present.
Time: Please plan to arrive on time or even slightly early. To protect confidentiality and safety, no new participants will be admitted after the first 10 minutes.

Strong emotions can arise during Healing Circles.
