Come celebrate the 100th anniversary of Black History Month. This year’s theme, a century of Black History Commemorations reflects on the historical significance of Black history and the contributions of individuals and communities of African descent over the past century. We’ll learn about Black trailblazers in Minnesota history and share stories about our family roles in Black history. All are invited to bring a book, poem, or other writing to share that is pertinent to the occasion.

Religious trauma can deeply shape how people see themselves, relate to others, and experience their own bodies—especially for those who have been part of controlling or spiritually harmful communities. This training helps participants understand the often hidden effects of religious trauma and spiritual abuse, explore the complicated grief that can arise when long-held beliefs fall away, and learn how to support the journey of rebuilding self-trust, personal agency, and a sense of meaning.
