A Multi-Faith Theology on Moving Beyond Intimate Partner ViolenceReligion and faith practices, teach us so much about how we take care of ourselves and others. In many traditions, we are aware that violence happens, but not necessarily how to center survivors of violence. In this session, designed for survivors of intimate partner violence, we will utilize Bible/Koran stories, utilize writing exercises, and work to create a theology that centers survivors. This is a Black Trans & Queer Liberation Theology affirming space.
March 6th, 12-2pm PST
