Lansing, MI — One Love Global is excited to offer a series of engaging and transformative events in celebration of Beloved Community Week 2025 and the 9th Annual National Day of Racial Healing. This year’s theme, For a Time Such as This, invites all members of the community to come together for powerful learning, dialogue, and healing. All events are free and open to the public.
These events build on the work One Love Global’s organizing work over the last two decades, including facilitating the Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation (TRHT) process in Metro Lansing since 2017, focused on jettisoning false beliefs in a hierarchy of human value and on transforming systems and policy. Beloved Community Week begins on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, honoring Dr. King’s vision of a community where every person is valued, conflicts are resolved with justice and empathy, and love and equity guide our actions.
Event Schedule:
Tuesday, Jan 21 (11:00 AM - 1:00 PM) – National Day of Racial Healing 2025, with healing circles and visioning for the future (via Zoom). This official observance of the National Day of Racial Healing invites participants to reflect on the progress made since 2017, engage in a healing circle, and participate in visioning for the future of racial healing. This virtual event offers a unique opportunity for individuals and organizations interested in continuing the Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation process.
