What does love look like as an act of healing - and even liberation?
We are so excited to close out our Grand Rounds season by celebrating and learning from some of our very own! Richa Gawande, PhD, Dominique Malebranche, PhD, and Rahil Rojiani, MD are all cherished members of the CMC community, and we couldn't be more proud to welcome them as our final presenters of the year.

Join us on Monday, June 1st from 1pm - 2pm ET for "Love as a Decolonial Praxis of Reconnection," where the VOICES Collective will explore love through three powerful reconnections — to body, community, and Spirit — as an antidote to inner and outer colonization, drawing on contemplative practice, dialogue, and community-based participatory research.

Free and open to all. Live on Zoom — and all registrants receive a link to the recording.
