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

SPOTTED! Our executive director at the Taking Action Together Summit in Houston, hosted by !

This year’s theme is Root. Act. Rise.

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.

We are thrilled to invite you to join our Restorying Pre-Institute Grounding Circles.

This offering is a series of virtual gatherings designed to prepare our bodies, spirits, and collective imagination for the upcoming “Re-Storing and Restoring: Theology, Sacred Memory, and Health in the African Community” Summer Institute, hosted by the Faith COMPASS Center in collaboration with 1LOVE Festival and The Sacred Memory Project.

These circles will offer gentle space for reflection, story-sharing, and grounding practices rooted in sacred memory and community care.

Today is National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day ( ).

Women and girls continue to face unique barriers to HIV prevention, testing, and care. At the Faith COMPASS Center, we believe faith communities can help dismantle these barriers by addressing stigma and transforming harmful stories into narratives that expand access and advance health equity.

Lent and Ramadan come from different traditions, yet both create sacred time to pause.

Through practices like prayer, fasting, and reflection, these seasons invite deeper awareness and open space to reconsider the stories shaping our lives.

At the Faith COMPASS Center, we explore how sacred practices can create moments for listening, reflection, and re-storying.
