In order to provide a foundation for the program, Spirituality and Racial Healing includes an opening retreat. The
retreat is designed to build and deepen community among participants, to help create a trusting
environment, and to broaden the sense of community to include those who are oppressed by
racism and those who are beneficiaries of racist systems and structures.
