Annual Conference | April 9–12, 2026 (Virtual)
Each spring, the community comes together for a 4-day immersive experience—this year, fully virtual—to honor the complexity, creativity, and courage of those reshaping higher education.
It’s not just professional development. It’s a reclaiming.
Expect:
- Workshops that speak from the wound and the wisdom
- Keynotes that feel like homecomings
- A space where your full self is not only welcome, but necessary
- Sessions that center:
✦ Navigating artificial intelligence as scholar and subject
✦ Honoring ancestral power as a source of strength and wisdom
✦ Health and wellbeing—emotional, financial, and mental
✦ Learning hidden secrets about academic publishing and publications - An awards ceremony recognizing exceptional scholars and leaders whose labor transforms the academy
Monthly Healing Hours
- Between conferences, we tend to the spirit.
- Healing Hours are monthly gatherings designed as sanctuaries of restoration and affirmation.
- There is no performance here. No expectation to explain. Just presence, pause, and possibility.
These sessions offer room to:
- Breathe through burnout
- Reflect without judgment
- Share stories only some will understand
- Practice collective care in a world that often demands solitary endurance
