As attacks on Black people have become more visible, key Black organizations have been building a grassroots movement of culturally grounded healing circles. African-centered healing circles address historical and contemporary racial stress experienced by Black people. They privilege culture and function as community-driven medicine, promoting collective healing and protecting against the effects of ongoing racism. The growth of these circles signals a shift away from Western methods of healing and toward indigenous practices. This article describes their growth, underlying theories, common elements, and evidence, and sketches a vision for national and international expansion.
