Healing Ourselves
In 2025, we are expanding our programming across the State of Michigan! Sharing the load of support is always appreciated. Please consider making a recurring contribution to the ‘Healing Ourselves’ programming this year!
Title Track is dedicated to fostering inclusive spaces and promoting healing and racial equity for people of color through deep understanding, meaningful action, and sustained change. Our transformative trainings are designed for organizations, communities, and individuals committed to promoting sustainable healing, dismantling systemic racism, and building more equitable environments.
Our Approach
Healing Ourselves is more than just a training session; it consists of immersive experiences specifically cultivated for BIPOC individuals to reflect, engage, grow, and focus on healing. We blend historical context with contemporary insights, providing participants with a robust understanding of racial equity and its implications in our society and our everyday lives. Through a mix of presentation, discussion, and interactive activities, participants will explore the complexities of racial identities, histories, and structures of power, and how to facilitate culturally connected healing on personal and organizational levels.
The Healing Ourselves program is intended for our beloved communities of color. You may also explore our white affinity program, ‘Understanding Racial Justice‘.
The Tools That We Share
- Understanding and Context: Gain a deep understanding of the histories and enduring effects of settler colonization, systemic racism, and the invention of whiteness in America. Explore the specific challenges faced by, and resilience displayed by Indigenous Americans, African Americans, Hispanic/Latinx Americans, Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, Middle Eastern Americans, and other marginalized groups.
- Self-Reflection and Growth: Engage in personal reflection to explore how internalized oppression shows up in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Discover strategies for healing from generational trauma, practicing self-care, and preserving mental health.
- Action and Accountability: Practice concrete ways to commit to anti-racist practices, decolonize minds and spaces, and support each other in the journey towards healing while also working towards building systems that promote racial equity. Develop accountability partnerships to foster ongoing relationships, commitment and action.
Highlights
- Our workshops are facilitated by experienced consultants who bring a wealth of knowledge and a compassionate approach to the complex issues of racial equity and healing.
- From small group discussions, group activities, and large group debriefs, our trainings emphasize active participation and collective reflection.
- We tailor our workshops to meet the specific needs and contexts of your organization or group, ensuring relevance and impact.
- We recognize the emotional weight of these conversations and incorporate guided healing practices to support participants in processing and grounding throughout the trainings.
Please Join Us In This Healing Space.
Whether you’re taking the first steps towards understanding racial equity and global majority-led healing or seeking to deepen your commitment to anti-racism and decolonization, our workshops offer a space for learning, growth, healing, community, and transformative action.
We are very excited to welcome all of our interested community members and want to extend an invitation to those who can only attend for a morning, afternoon, or evening session. Come as you can; enjoy community, learn, eat good food, and build relationships.
Registration Details/Information.
The layout of our weekend is intended to give you a sense of community, give you the tools you may need to navigate spaces, but we also value REST. There is learning built into our time, but there are also times for you to rest and get to know other attendees. Also, we recognize that not everyone can invest in staying a full weekend, so during registration, you will have the ability to let us know when you can attend! Food, beverages, and snacks will be available to all.
Organizations are welcome to attend! If you need to register AND pay for your organizational team members to attend, please email programs@titletrackmichigan.org. Our preference is that each individual attendee register (whether or not you belong to an organization) as there are specific questions that each attendee will need to answer.
Once you complete your registration, you will receive a confirmation message, followed by a welcome email delineating location, timeline of our weekend together, facilitator information, and more as we draw closer.
Last month, over 20 individuals gathered for Title Track’s first ever ‘Healing Ourselves’ weekend retreat. This program has been lovingly developed with the intention of holding space for communities of color to build relationships, learn, strategize, and hope together. In 2025, we will be holding space for more weekend cohorts. Please keep in touch with us via our newsletter, social media, and website for upcoming dates and how you can attend or support. A big thank you to our supporters, donors, community members, organizations, and grantors who have helped bring this program to fruition.
