International House Davis

Here at I-House Davis we pride ourselves on celebrating diverse backgrounds from all around the world! On this special day, we are reminded and inspired by the resiliency of the African-American community and hopeful that through the small steps we collectively take every day, everyone will have the opportunity to experience true freedom and equality, regardless of background 💛🧡❤️💚🖤

We’re taking a short break this week, and Summer Programs begin June 22! ☀️

Thank you for a spring full of classes, cultural events, music, dancing, conversations, and new friendships.
See you back at I-House soon 💛

This past Saturday, we celebrated 80 years of fostering global understanding, one scholar at a time. 🌍✨ We gathered with our Fulbright Scholars, Humphrey Fellows, and Advisory Committee members for a special potluck in Berkeley, CA in honor of Fulbright's 80th Anniversary. Here's to 80 more years of connection, curiosity, and community! 🎉

✨ What does it mean to know where you stand in your own life's cycle?

Find out at Ceremony for Personal Transformation: The Medicine Wheel, a participatory workshop led by Sylvia Rios, elder, wisdom keeper, and guide, as part of our Roots & Routes World Tour series.

The Medicine Wheel is one of the most enduring symbols in Indigenous tradition: a sacred map of the seasons, elements, spirit animals, and cycles of our own lives. In this 90-minute ceremony, Sylvia will teach participants to co-create a living Earth Altar together using medicinal plants, stones, and earth elements aligned to the four cardinal directions and their spirit animals: the Hummingbird, Eagle/Condor, Great Serpent, and Mother Jaguar.

Through guided talk, journaling, and meditation, we'll explore the questions that ground us:
🌱 Who am I?
🌍 Where do I come from?
🔮 Where am I going?

This ceremony is open to everyone seeking connection to themselves, to community, and to the Earth.
