What is a Racial Healing Circle?
A Racial Healing Circle is a facilitated conversation where participants are brought closer together through safe, engaging dialogue.
How do they work?
Trained facilitator Rene Petties-Jones from the National Federation for Just Communities of WNY will ensure a confidential space for our participants to explore current issues and safely ask questions.
Think this isn’t for you?
Think again. The goal of a Racial Healing Circle is to help uncover and recognize our own inner misunderstandings, misconceptions, weaknesses and strengths. People with different backgrounds or beliefs all stand to gain insight from this unique opportunity to reflect and connect.
