Description :
We are excited to share with you the rebirth of the National Black Wholistic Society. The brothers who formed this unique gathering over twenty years ago have reunited and increased our numbers so we can again address the critical issues facing our people. In this re-emergence retreat we have chosen to focus on the various forms of violence (street, domestic, youth and media) that are destroying the fabric of Black communities. Please join us as we celebrate our return and develop viable strategies to bring peace to our people.
