Healing through Our Grief Kickoff Raffle

About our Campaign

The Healing Clinic Collective (HCC) is diving into our fundraising season for this year's clinic, Healing Through Our Grief: a Healing Clinic for Movement Organizers, coming this Fall 2022. We will be hosting multiple events to reach our $50,00 goal.

History of the clinics:  At our clinics we gather practitioners who offer many healing modalities from acupuncture to limpias, fire cupping to massage, herbal consultations to plácticas, and more. We set a specific prayer for the clinic and know that whoever comes through the doors was brought there to receive and add to our prayer. No one is turned away for lack of funds.

This Year's Clinic: Healing Through Our Grief: A Healing Clinic for Movement Organizers is a space intended to acknowledge and tend to the compounded grief held by our relatives who are dedicated to working towards the world we long for and need. Specifically, this clinic seeks to support movement to organizers and frontline community activists who are exposed to gross injustices, witness atrocities faced by BIPOC & poor communities (including their own), and devote their lives to the service of the children of the future, done all while holding their own pain and losses. We offer this clinic so that they may be gifted with rejuvenation, healing and tools for ongoing physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellness.

This year's clinic is organized by a set of relationships woven together including sponsorships from Movement Generation (MG), Creative Wildfire (CW), and Richmond Our Power Campaign (ROPC). We will be accepting additional sponsorships for the clinic.

We will host an in person and online-portion to the clinic that will incorporate artwork that holds our visions for the future of healing, grief and liberation created by artists brought together by Creative Wildfire.

We feel called to hold and tend to our grief in a collective way because we resonate with the pain we each hold individually and know we were not meant to hold these burdens alone. We can see the exhaustion and burnout in our social justice spaces and feel a deep calling to rest and renew our hearts and spirits through the many healing modalities our ancestors have passed down to us. The resounding message we are receiving is that we grieve because we love. Love is our ultimate healer, so our prayer for this clinic is to heal through our grief. We hope that you can support us in holding our prayer.
