CAAIP Member Meeting

We’re honored to welcome Pilar Audain, Interim Executive Director of Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation Greater Chicago (TRHTGC) and Founder/Lead Trainer of the Spirit-U-Wellness Initiative, a healing framework that blends Afro-Indigenous practices, ancestral wisdom, and holistic wellness modalities. Pilar will guide us in a poignant conversation about healing-centered leadership, art and lifestyle rituals as pathways to collective restoration and systems change.
