Following the 2026 BIPOC Adoptee Conference, we know that meaningful conversations, powerful stories, and deep connections can continue to resonate long after the event ends. That’s why VOICES is excited to collaborate with Sun Mee Martin and Numaru to offer a special post-conference Integrate & Ground session designed to help participants process, reflect, and reconnect.
This free virtual gathering creates space to slow down, honor what emerged during the conference experience, and gently integrate insights, emotions, and connections into everyday life. As participants return home following the conference, this virtual session provides an intentional opportunity to reflect, reconnect, and ground in community from wherever they are. Through guided grounding practices, reflection, and community care, participants will be invited to cultivate a sense of presence and balance as they carry the conference experience forward.
While this session is designed with conference attendees in mind, all eligible community members are welcome, including those who were unable to attend the conference. We recognize that healing, reflection, and community support are ongoing needs, and we are committed to creating spaces that remain accessible and inclusive.
This session is open to:

BIPOC adoptees have suffered from family separation and ethnic displacement. Many of us are immigrants who have also been separated from our homelands from injustices stemming from imperialism and colonialism. Many of us are Native adoptees who experience an acute kind of loss from the history of violent settler colonialism on Turtle Island that has resulted in familial and cultural loss, the degradation of the Earth, and the continued oppression Native peoples. We stand in solidarity with our Native siblings. Our organization occupies the unceded ancestral lands of the Multnomah, Wasco, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Cowlitz, Chinook, Tualatin, Kalapuya, Molalla, and other tribes whose homes ran along the Columbia and Willamette Rivers. We offer our deep respect and solidarity to these communities.
