Join Health & Wellbeing Education, NISA, and the Peer Educators for the 10th Annual 24-Hour Healing Fire for Survivors of Sexual Violence at Amherst College. We invite survivors, loved ones, allies, and supporters to come to the Healing Fire on the First Year Quad any time from 12pm on Thursday April 23rd through 12pm on Friday April 24th. The Opening Ceremony, led by Dean Kiara Vigil and student members of NISA and the Peer Educators, will be on Thursday April 23rd from 12-1pm.

The 24-Hour Healing Fire is part of the larger Healing Fires Initiative for Survivors of Sexual Violence, their friends, families, and allies. The purpose of the Healing Fire Initiative is to offer survivors of sexual violence a welcoming and comforting place to break the isolation they may feel, build community with other survivors and supporters, and begin or continue their healing process.

This is a confidential space and we ask that all attendees respect the privacy of others. All community members are invited to attend and stay for any duration of time that is right for them. Anyone who comes is welcome to make an offering to the fire (wooden shims and sharpies will be provided and all are welcome to bring letters and pictures of their own). To respect everyone’s privacy, we ask that no photography or social media include faces of people without their explicit permission.
