Description

The Austin Health Commons Presents:

Truth, Racial Healing, Transformation for MLK Day

Space is limited and registration closes on Wednesday, January 16.

Please complete one registration per person.

This year, we invite you to commemorate Dr Martin Luther King by deepening our commitment to his vision through Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation. The Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation Circle allows us to develop a deeper understanding of our shared humanity by telling our truths. When we share our stories, we find common ground with those who we perceive as different and build connections that transcend the perceived hierarchy of human value. Please join us.

Circles will be held at five locations in East, North, and South Austin. In order to ensure our circles are truly diverse, you will be asked some demographic questions when you register. Participants will then be notified of the location for their Circle after registering.

In order to make this event more accessible, free childcare will be provided at select locations. Unfortunately, Spanish only circles will not be an option this time, but we are working toward making that a reality.

Learn more about Austin Health Commons at www.austinhealthcommons.org.


Testimonial:

“By the end of the circle it just felt like a love bomb had gone off! My heart was so alive!" - Amira Glickman


FAQs

What is Truth, Racial Healing, Transformation?

Truth, Racial Healing, Transformation is a format developed by Dr. Gail Christopher, over 10 years while she served as Vice President for Policy and Senior Advisor for the Kellogg Foundation. You can learn more at https://www.wkkf.org/what-we-do/racial-equity/truth-racial-healing-transformation.

What will we do in the Circle?

Trained Racial Healing Facilitators will guide participants through deep sharing in a safe space through a combination of the circle format and dyads. Participants are invited to share their truths and heart stories, and in doing so, to develop a deeper understanding of others who may be perceived as different. You will meet new people, listen deeply, share your truths, and give affirming responses.

How does the TRHT Circle heal?

Humans are innately wired for connection, and connecting with others in a supportive and safe way is healing. The Circles are designed to lower the stress hormone, cortisol, and raise the bonding-joy hormone, oxytocin, in the brain. Thus, when we leave the Circle we actually leave with less stress than when we walked in; a healing experience.

Do I have to share a story?

Sharing is always by invitation. If you do not feel ready to share your story with the group, we will absolutely honor that. That said, we believe that each person has a valuable story that others in the group can learn from. Sharing your story allows you to receive the affirming comments from the group and fully experience the healing that comes thereafter.
