BLACK JOY – Interfaith Evening Retreat & Summer Solstice Libation Ritual

Healing Image is inviting you to join Rev. Anita for an Interfaith Evening Retreat to mark the Summer Solstice with a sacred Libation Ritual of healing and celebration for All Women of Colour from the global majority. We are creating safe space, you are asked to invite only one appropriately aware, anti-racist white woman ally if you would like to.

Be prepared to engage your whole self and be empowered by a deep and divinely meaningful sharing of our stories in a lovely space overlooking the sea.

This is an opportunity for us to gather together in community, forming a circle of healing that is nourishing to the soul. We will deepen our self awareness In creative and spiritual upliftment, creating a supportive and joyful environment for each other; co-creating a space that is dedicated to connection with other like-minded women.
