Sacred Spring Reiki Collective will lead a healing circle for community members and organizers at the 2025 AfroMundo Festival: Troubled Territories—The Will to Heal. This session will bring people together to heal in community; reminding us that we are all connected and are stronger and wiser together. We don’t have to face our fears or problems alone. Communally, we can overcome great challenges. Together We Heal will help to calm the mind through the practice of intentional breathing, gentle movement, and reiki energy healing so that we can tap into the deep well of ancestral wisdom we each carry within and thus access our inner resources and gifts.
Reiki practitioners and community healers will join efforts to create a sanctuary of safety and calmness in which participants can take a break to relax and renew. We will open the circle with a gently guided QiGong/Yoga flow to get into our bodies, followed by Reiki Practitioners moving around the circle sharing reiki energy through their hands, which are placed gently on your head, shoulders and heart area to help you attain a deep state of relaxation. During the reiki healing we will offer a guided meditation and sound bath. We will close the circle with time to reflect and share your experience. The total time in the healing circle is 120 minutes.
* The format of this session is inspired by Freedom to Heal, a healing program that many groups of people have experienced throughout the years and in different community settings. In this group different healing modalities are used to create a community space of safety and healing. Participants in these circles report having received great benefits by healing together with other community members.
