A Gathering of Communities:
Strategizing for a Healing-Centered City
A Gathering of Communities: Strategizing for a Healing-Centered City (GOC) is a Chicago-based and people-centered conference focused on the formation of community investment strategies throughout a day-long of organic and structured community-building activities, dialogues, workshops, cultural arts, and breaking bread amongst social justice and community-centered organizations, elected officials, and community members. Rooted in healing, community investment, and unity, this year’s conference seeks to develop, strengthen, and highlight cross-communal coalitions and strategies that address injustices while prioritizing physical and mental health.

Reimagine Challenges to Solution
If you have ever said or been told that you are not the kind person to do certain things, we have a developmental workshop for you. An interactive workshop that highlights the challenges of limitations within the sphere of self-identity. You will explore new ways to view yourself and the broader world around you. Using performance to explore, how to create both who you are, and who you are becoming in the ever changing world, all at the same time. Spanish Interpretation
