Aloha from Hawaii – I’m Courtney… started my journey to human healing with my spiritual practice five years ago. And as a black woman began the journey of racial healing with my ancestors. I found this Summit exactly when I was ready. Mahalo nui loa.

Greetings: I am so excited that this summit is happening. I need it so much and I’m sure others do as Black Practitioners. I will soon be ordained as a Lay Dharma Teacher and I practice in a sangha that is basically white bodied people with a few hispanics. The challenge is ever-present about assisting others to recognize the unique situations of BIPOC . I informed everyone in the sangha about this summit. I’m hoping some will tune in. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY. Eternity Wauls, El Paso, Texas . My 2nd BS.
Hey Hey Everybody- Meag-gan here from the Bay Area. So excited for all the learning, healing, and community this event will bring! <3

I’m registered but am unable to log on. The zoom link above launches my zoom app which requests a meeting ID. So far, I’m unable to find that ID, but will continue searching. further along, the zoom app announces that the meeting has ended. I assumed the summit would be made up of a series of discussions, one after the other, for the entire 3-day summit. I hope I’m able to straighten this out and attend at least some of the sessions.
Thanks,
