FROM DR SHELLY: One of my favorite professional roles is teaching-training-mentoring and I am excited to offer an opportunity to work with me in an ongoing way in this capacity. The Sankofa Study Circle & Practice Community aims to co-create an intentional and communal space of learning and development for healers and helping/health professionals, community practitioners, program developers (and students!) who resonate strongly with Sankofa Theory & Practice. The vision is to provide opportunities for studying, experiencing, healing, and growing together from the ground of Sankofa Theory & Practice. This community seeks to nurture the development of a Sankofa Practitioner community, people in diverse settings who apply Sankofa Theory and Practice in their work. If this speaks to you, read on for details!

MEMBERSHIP CRITERIA

Our criteria are intended to facilitate creating a community where members share a strong interest in Sankofa Theory & Practice, as well as a sincere and demonstrated commitment to serving BIPOC and/or communities impacted by intersectional oppression, collective-cultural-colonial trauma, sociocultural stressors (e.g., identity, belonging, acculturation, discrimination), marginalization, and stigmatization. This is not a community where we are trying to get as many people as possible to join. Our priority is cultivating and maintaining a learning community where the experience is positive, meaningful, relevant to your work, and in the service of our higher purposes and callings. We ask that all potential members complete a screening questionnaire so that we can be as confident as possible that community members share these priorities.

  • You have completed (or have registered and will complete) the "Introducing Sankofa Theory & Practice" Webinar Series (or equivalent exposure to Sankofa Theory & Practice).

            at least 50% of summaries/handouts/slides/study guides (must be completed within
