Virtual Healing Circle, March 24

There is one more opportunity to participate in a Healing Circle this month, and it’s virtual!

As a designated Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation Campus Center (TRHT), NOVA is one of over 70 colleges and universities dedicated to pursuing narrative change, racial healing and relationship building. One practical tool that TRHT campus centers utilize is Healing Circles.

Healing Circles are groups of around 30 people or fewer coming together to share individual truths, history and stories. They are led by two trained co-facilitators who guide the circle through a series of prompts and debriefs that lead to generative conversations. The experience is usually three hours long with time for group sharing, conversations in pairs and self-reflection. The process of listening and becoming open to one another’s perspectives and experiences is what leads to a transformative experience. Read more about Healing Circles here.

The last March Healing Circle will be hosted as follows:

• Virtual, Fri, Mar. 24, 9:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m., co-facilitated by Vanessa Diaz (College Staff) and Lawrence Nightingale (WO).
