5th Annual National Day of Collective Healing with Alamo Colleges District

Finding Our Center: Healing & Wholeness through Storytelling is a transformative gathering that brings together the luminous voices of U.S. Poet Laureates Joy Harjo and Ada Limón for an unforgettable evening of reflection, resilience, and renewal. Through the power of poetry, this event invites us to reconnect with ourselves, each other, and the deeper truths that bind us in our shared humanity. In a time marked by uncertainty and division, Harjo and Limón — two of the most celebrated poetic voices of our era — guide us back to center. Their words offer not only solace and strength but a profound sense of wholeness, illuminating the path toward healing through storytelling, language, and deep listening. With grace, wisdom, and joy, they remind us that poetry is more than art — it is a lifeline. This special event is both a reading and a conversation — a space where poetry becomes a catalyst for community, compassion, and collective transformation. Whether you're a longtime lover of poetry or simply seeking meaning in a fast-moving world, Finding Our Center is a rare opportunity to witness the power of language to uplift, connect, and restore. Join us for an inspiring evening that honors the sacred work of healing through words — and discover how poetry can bring us home to ourselves.
