About this Event

Dear CHICAGO, your light is needed, and we can't wait to welcome you.
National Day of Racial Healing 2026: We Carry the Light is a sacred gathering of truth-telling, reflection, celebration and collective restoration through the sacred art of storytelling. We NEED this space...

Here’s what to know as you prepare:

πŸ•” Come early – Doors open at 5:00 PM with yummy small plates. Come nourish your body, grab your seat, and settle into the vibe.

🫢🏾 Bring an open mind and heart – This is a space for deep listening, reflection, and soul-stirring connection. Let the stories move you.

πŸ‘― Bring a friend – Healing happens in community. Invite someone to walk this light-filled journey with you.

🎀 Want to share your voice? When you register add your name to Binkey's Storytelling sign up sheet! Come ready to offer a story, poem, song, or reflection (3–5 minutes) that carries light and truth in keeping with the theme. Names will be randomly pulled throughout the evening. Fun!!!

🧑 The first 75 guests receive a custom "Solidarity Heals" t-shirt, with the option for personalized screen-printing onsite.

🌟 Plus: Visit our Affirmation Station, healing teas station, and explore soulful giveaways designed to keep your light burning long after the night ends.

We’re honored to share space with you. See you soon!!
