A time for deep systemic change is upon us. We are being called upon to follow the truth of our hearts and all come together to honor, assist, and usher in the tremendous healing the Black Lives Matter movement is asking of our communities, society, culture, country, and world. Every one of us, as a participant and contributor to society, has a role to play to enact racial justice. There is opportunity to facilitate this change in our personal lives, in the work we offer to the world, in the spaces of our work environments, in the patterns of our consumption, and in how we choose to engage socially and politically. Folks of all identities and backgrounds are being asked to acknowledge not only that racial disparity has drastic negative effects on Black, Brown, and Indigenous people, but that it provides unearned privilege predominantly to white folks, and this issue requires action from us all.

As healers, we believe in facilitating love and compassion always, and raising our collective consciousnesses and vibration for the benefit of all life. If you have felt disconnected from this movement, we encourage you to invite yourself to become open to receiving, upholding, and enacting the life-affirming messages it holds. We have curated a collection of materials that can help you begin or expand on your personal journey of learning and growth which you will find below. Join us in developing our understanding of the issues facing BIPOC today, about the history that has facilitated racial disparity in this country and globally, in developing strategies of dismantling systemic racism, and in learning about being actively anti-racist in our every day lives. This movement requires lots of big changes, it also requires changes on a small scale from every one of us, and it begins with a change from within. Open your mind and your heart and healing will follow. Our seemingly small efforts are significant and powerful, and with continued work, add up to big change.
