We are excited to invite you to the 2026 Re-Storying Institute: Weaving New Worlds on June 25–27, 2026, in Winston-Salem, NC!

Now in its third year, the Re-Storying Institute is a multi-day experience for people who are ready to imagine and build a different kind of world. This year’s theme, Weaving New Worlds: Restorying Kindred Abundance for Collective Flourishing and Communal Vibrancy, invites us to explore what becomes possible when we shift from scarcity and competition toward care, reciprocity, and collective thriving.

Together, leaders, practitioners, and community members will gather for guided conversations, collaborative learning, and embodied practices that nurture both imagination and action.

This is not abstract work. It is deeply practical, equipping participants with tools, insights, and relationships they can carry back into their own communities and contexts.

Registration is now open. Join us as we weave new worlds together and secure your spot today. ➡️ https://share.google/QGFXgermWSfEUtKw0

Today is National Youth HIV/AIDS Awareness Day.

At the Faith COMPASS Center, we believe health is shaped by more than information.

It is shaped by the stories we tell, the care we offer, and the spaces we create.

Young people deserve access to truth, prevention, treatment, and care.

We are committed to continuing to transform the story.

Join us by sharing this with your community.

This National Public Health Week, we’re Setting the Stage for Transformation.

As this year’s NPHW theme, “Ready. Set. Action.” invites movement, we’re reflecting on what must be in place before action can truly take hold.

At the Faith COMPASS Center, our work sits at the intersection of faith and public health, with a deep focus on shifting the narratives that shape how health is understood and lived in community.

This is just the beginning.

If these words resonate, we invite you to share them and the conversations they spark.
