SOUL
RESTORATION
CENTER
Welcome to the
Based in Portland, Ore., known as the country's whitest metropolitan city, we activate Black joy, creativity, multi-generational healing, and ancestral resiliency within our buoyant Black community.
The Center is respite where Black folks are
WELCOMED * CENTERED * LOVED * CELEBRATED
We laugh. We gather. We honor Ubuntu.
Joy is at the center of everything we do, as within Black joy is healing. And Black joy serves as an act of resistance, amidst the tidal waves of racial oppression. So, all of the center's art and photos represent Black experiences. Our programming reflects Black culture. Even our rugs are intentionally bold, bright and colorful. Come visit us and find restoration in a space that looks and feels like you just stepped into grandmomma's house.
We laugh. We gather. We honor Ubuntu.
"I am because we are, and because we are, therefore, I am."
R.I.S.E. is an acronym for "Radically Inspiring Spaces of Empowerment." Our hope is to inspire partnering opportunities like this across our city.
With support from our partners, particularly the Portland Events & Film and the historic Alberta House, we are holding space for Black women grieving the loss of their mother or child, whether from death, relationship dysfunction, physical or emotional trauma or other means. Hurt is hurt but healing is a sign of self-love. And we are here for all of that!
