CONCLAVE OF THE MYSTICS
INAUGURAL ONLINE GATHERING
Saturday, September 19, 2026
8:30AM (ET) - 5:00PM (ET)
The inaugural Conclave took place online on September 19, 2026.
Six Voices. Six Perspectives. One Gathering.
A day of thoughtful presentations, reflection, dialogue, and community exploring BIPOC spiritual traditions, practices, and wisdom.
The Journey of the Day
The inaugural Conclave of the Mystics was a day of learning, reflection, exploration, and community, bringing together six BIPOC practitioners and educators to share their knowledge, experience, traditions, and perspectives.
The day was intentionally designed as a journey through three questions:
What We Inherit → How We Live It → What We Carry Forward
Throughout the day, we explored the wisdom, traditions, practices, and experiences that come before us; how we understand and live them in the present; and what we choose to carry forward.
Between presentations, brief Conclave Reflections offered moments to pause, stretch, integrate what participants had heard, and prepare for what came next.

Closing Conversation
What We Inherit → How We Live It → What We Carry Forward
We'll close the day with a conversation bringing presenters and invited panelists together to reflect on the ideas, experiences, traditions, and questions explored throughout the gathering.
Rather than seeking one answer, we'll consider:
What do we inherit?
How do we live and adapt those inheritances today?
What do we carry forward for those who come after us?
4:35-5:00 PM
Closing Remarks
A final reflection, words of gratitude, and an invitation to continue the conversation beyond this inaugural gathering.
Six Voices. Six Perspectives. One Gathering.
The inaugural Conclave was not about finding one path or one answer.
It was about creating space for many voices to be heard, respected, explored, and shared.
Every tradition begins with a first gathering.
This was ours.
The conversation continues.
