The Gamaliel staff and Ntosake trainers welcome you to our annual training event. We

are excited that you have traveled to become a more powerful, who has already braved the

flames of life: flames that could have already destroyed you, but you have survived! We

have been through hell. Our rights are being eroded: our safety threatened; our future

insecure. It would be a dire narrative for us to live into, except this is not an end to our story;

this is the opportunity to write a new narrative and to live into the power raging within us.
