This powerful event begins with a mindfulness activity led by Dr. Bernard Richardson, inviting participants to center themselves and reflect inward. Student leaders then guide small group discussions exploring our personal fears and the role they play in our lives. The experience continues with a vibrant African Drum line leading participants through the Yard to a burning fire pit, where we pour libations and symbolically release our fears written on index cards into the fire.
