During this gathering, Travis Spencer will hold space for a gentle yet powerful Releasing and Opening Ceremony for 2026—an opportunity to honor ourselves both individually and collectively. Together, we will mindfully release what no longer serves us on our life’s journey, celebrate new beginnings, and open our hearts to what is ready to emerge as we move forward.

We cultivate the capacity to be present with ourselves and one another, meeting truth with care while engaging healing practices that reconnect us to our bodies and lineage while deepen our ability to hold difference. From this grounding, we build community at the speed of trust, honoring the complexity, wisdom, and resilience of our shared and distinct lineages.Three Foundational Pillars of Black Indegenious People of Color (BIPOC) Sangha(recognizing this is a process)Embody the Whole Self: Acceptance of the bodies we inhabit and the lineage and history of that body (accepting its pain and resilience). We also bring all of our feelings, joy, pain, confusion, and so on.Capacity: We are capable and willing to hold all that we are and have the capacity to be present to others, acknowledging differences and history, and developing the capacity to use the truth of where we are to connect to each other. In support of the development to increase capacity, we will engage in various types of mindfulness practices that focus on being with our bodies, which we too often have ignored as we have negotiated lives in a society that supports that disconnection.Community: We are committed to developing a community that supports relationships at the speed of trust outside the practice space. We are an expression of the complexity and resilience of our lineage." } ] } ] ```
