Via The Healthy Campus Initiative Native Roots will be providing healing circles for UCLA's campus for the Winter and Spring quarters 2015.
As of this year, 2015, Native Roots, a student organization at UCLA that seeks to build awareness and healing on human rights, social justice, environmental preservation issues prevalent in Indigenous communities around the world, received a grant through the Healthy Campus Initiative. Through this grant Native Roots will be providing healing circles for UCLA's campus for Winter and Spring four times each quarter.
**In the center of the healing circle there will be an altar where anyone can share their identity, family, community, struggle, love ones that have passed on through photo or object that reflects them (if you feel comfortable to), and flowers. Everything listed is just a reminder of who we are, because we forget at times.
ONE MIND, ONE HEART, ONE VOICE, ONE SPIRIT
**Goal
Provide a peaceful, safe, and welcoming space outside and within UCLA. Herein, students, faculty, and staff (from all walks of life, shape, and form) can (re)connect to each other and root ourselves to Our Great Mother Earth. Our circles emphasize that we are were not alone on our academic roads. We aim to foster and build relationships, develop a support system, and restore balance and harmony to self through free expression.
