Agenda

🕑: 07:00 AM - 11:00 AM
MORNING SESSION — Community Healing Activations

Info: Each committed organization will host community-led healing experiences facilitated by local partners, leaders, and organizations. Participating agencies and community champions are asked to commit to “Healing Cincinnati” by hosting one activation in their neighborhood. The purpose of this year's morning session is to begin healing within our communities by uplifting the leadership and wisdom that already exists, honoring neighborhood culture, and grounding the day in community voice.
● Examples include healing circles, COPE, ABCD, yoga, meditation, art, or documentary
screenings.
● We recommend that each healing activation take a group photo and share with the hashtag #CNDORH


🕑: 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
MIDDAY BREAK — Self-Guided Lunch

Info: As you explore our wonderful city of Cincinnati, we recommend visiting one of the businesses highlighted in our Empower and Eats TV Show or one of the many other amazing dining establishments throughout the city.


🕑: 01:00 PM - 05:30 PM
AFTERNOON ACTION LAB — Collective Alignment at the Freedom Center

Info: Within this session, participants will focus on healing governance and policy alignment. This 'Action Lab' will serve as a collective commitment moment where individuals and organizations sign on to support the Healing Cities Initiative. Using a multi-sector approach, attendees will collaboratively co-design local solutions, sketch funding strategies, and create equity pathways. ALL participants will gather for an afternoon of connection, celebration, and forward movement. Healing starts here, as this is a day with unity, momentum, and a shared commitment to a three-year journey of healing-centered governance across the city and county.
