About the event
“We BIPOC, because of our specific ancestral lineages, upbringing, lived experience and the place of our own history in the context of Humanity history, need safe and accessible healing spaces.”

- If you are looking for answers to understand the sense of your current existence, the dynamics in your family and your relationship with your ancestors, this 3-day workshop is for you!
- If you are an activist, in the process of decolonizing your mind and need to keep your energy up to prevent burn out, this 3-day workshop is for you!
- If you are not a BIPOC, but a true ally, sensitive to BIPOC living experience, acknowledging in your heart their humanity as yours and genuinely wanting to heal together with BIPOC, this 3-day workshop is for you!
