From Safe Spaces to Brave Spaces: Justice, Responsibility & Healing featuring Shakti Butler & Ami Gaston

Please join these wise, compelling, and heart-centered educators and activists for a special presentation designed for the ALTAR community. Together we will learn, reflect, and call forward the compassion and courage needed to play our part in creating real and sustainable change, in ourselves and in our world.
