Heritage Healing Prayer Circle
May 6, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am
Join us on Saturday, May 6th, at 9:00 a.m. as we come together to pray for all Descendants’ journeys to understand and connect with their ancestors at historic sites, and to honor their ancestors’ memories and learn from their experiences. This event seeks to release the pain of past wounds, aid in forgiveness, and provide inspiration to move forward with courage while exploring the lives, traditions, of those who lived on the land before us.
We are holding this prayer circle at the beginning of our guided tour season to honor the memory of those who came to Historic Sotterley during the middle passage and remember the lives of those who perished on the journey. This event is free and open to the public, but if you’d like to stay and purchase a guided or self-guided tour of Sotterley after the event, you are welcome to do so at the Visitor Center.
Historic Sotterley is proud to be a UNESCO Site of Memory for the Routes of the Enslaved, Middle Passage Port Marker’s Project Site, and a partner in the Return Passage Initiative.
