Fifth Floor Training Room

Collaboration is the cornerstone of good community work. While the benefits are clear, our personal stance about whether we “have to” or “want to” participate is critical to successful collaboration. Equally important is understanding how to engage effectively in collaborative work with colleagues in a way that is nourishing and enhances connectivity and genuine partnerships. In this workshop, participants will explore practical tools, strategies and activities for infusing nourishing practices that can lead to more sustainable and mutually beneficial collaborative initiatives and efforts.

Fourth Floor Training Room

This session will help organizations visualize the possibility of building a work and learning environment focused on equity, cultural responsiveness, social-emotionally grounded, and anti-racism, by curating safe, brave space for important conversations that will shift the narrative to inclusive and resource rich. Recognizing up to this moment in history, America's collective identity has not met the needs of the most marginalized, the fight for equity can no longer be ignored, othered, erased, silenced, and/or performed. A commitment to the development of shared language and values around equity are essential to reimagining a future where the next generation won't need to deal with or heal from racialized trauma in the workplace. An all-hands on deck approach, leverages the power of African Proverb "many hands making for light work." A synchronized effort that rings loud of resilience and anti-racism. This presentation will use the case study of the Robla School Distirct's Resilience Project.

Laura Vu, Energy Healing and Meditation

ThetaHealing is a meditation technique and energy-healing modality. Come experience, learn and/or receive energy-healing that may support you to become more grounded and clearer in the pathways that you are forging towards social justice, equity, and liberation. With the facilitation and support of a ThetaHealing practitioner, participants will have the opportunity to receive energetic clearings and downloads offered in the form of affirmation statements. In this practice, ThetaHealing practitioners are trained to work with the Law of Free Agency, and therefore, energetic-healings can only take place and be received by the person after giving permission or consent per offering. This modality works with and for all walks of life and identities. Laura Vu is a certified ThetaHealing practitioner since 2017, and has completed her instructor certifications to teach ThetaHealing seminars and certify other practitioners.

Jae Saechao, Expanding on Our Sacredness - a communal mural-altar + reflection space

In the words of revolutionary Grace Lee Boggs, "We need to discern who we are and expand on our humanness and sacredness. That's how we change the world, which happens because we will be the change."

Come rest, reflect and reground in the sacred heart-centered energy that guides the work of change-making with artist + creative healing practitioner, Nyingv.Jae (they/them) in this interactive art activity. Embodied by a collectively assembled, vibrant paper mural-altar, participants will have the opportunity to share their dreams, prayers, gratitude and intentions for themselves and their communities on colorful paper cut-outs, with various reflection prompts provided. Nyingv Jae will also be offering "change me" prayer card pulls from the Divine Beloved oracle card deck.

Fourth Floor Training Room

In this panel workshop, we will hear from participants in the City of Sacramento’s 102 Acres Land Development Project on the topic of cross sector collaboration. We will use the project as a case study to examine how multi-sector partners can come together to design and implement reimagined processes for community stakeholders, and challenge public land development in Sacramento.

Participants should:

• walk away with an understanding of how city land development practices have historically harmed underserved communities, and how this novel approach challenges them;

• understand why this can be a model for creating more equitable processes and outcomes that serve communities effectively and efficiently; and

• be thinking about how and with whom they can apply cross-sector collaborative practices within their own spaces and leadership roles.

Fifth Floor Training Room

Fundraising brings challenges, both for individual BIPOC fundraisers and for their organizations. These challenges mirror larger issues:

1. power imbalances with funders and philanthropy; 2. growing wealth disparities; and, the 3, lack of investment in BIPOC communities.

BIPOC fundraisers experience these dynamics resulting in varying emotions and perceptions. Join seasoned fundraising professionals that will equip and empower you as BIPOC fundraisers. The workshop aligns participants' personal and organizational fundraising strategies towards equity and will cover: positive mindsets in fundraising; centering diversity, equity, and inclusion; philanthropic education, allyship, and transformational partners
