A GATHERING of COMMUNITIES

Let's continue building and strengthening our communities together!

A Gathering of Communities:
The Power of Our Stories for Collective Healing

Thank you for joining us on Saturday, November 9, 2024 for our annual conference, A Gathering of Communities: The Power of Our Stories for Collective Healing. At this event, we brought people together to build a movement for a healing-centered Chicago. We had a fun, interactive, and inspiring conference that blended conversations, workshops, art, and food amongst youth, families, and community members from throughout the city.

Join us!

As we build community, strategize, and collectively share healing practices with the goal of envisioning the future of Chicago through the lens of equity and wellness. Here's what to expect day of:
