Ascension 2024

Join The Love More Movement for the Love More Ascension 2024 Ceremony at Union Temple Baptist Church, 1225 W St, SE, Washington, DC, on June 13, 2024, from 2 to 5 p.m. This event will serve as a Homegoing Service for past traumas and a celebration for individual, family, and community healing and transformation.
The Love More Movement, a dedicated community-based organization focused on Love, Healing, Forgiveness, trauma recovery, and Personal Growth, is thrilled to provide this space for Journeyers, individuals, and groups, particularly those who transform traumatic landscapes into a Journey to Joy (J2J). We will commemorate our journey towards healing ourselves, our families, and our communities. The ceremony will feature a communal burial of past traumas, marking a significant step towards healing and renewal.
A ceremony feature will be inspirational words from Mama Sanovia Muhammad – a Yoga instructor, Community Activist, Performing Poet, and passionate speaker from Birmingham, Alabama. She is a Master Healer and will discuss climbing Mount Kilimanjaro at age 69. She shares that the strength of her people gave her the power to ascend the mountain.
Other highlights include Pastor Willie F. Wilson’s eulogy for trauma, Journeyer Martin Bond’s announcement of the Forgiveness Challenge, Mama Ayanna Gregory’s libation, and Inspirational words from Mama Dr. Gwen Adams, Pastor John Davis, and Mama Karen Settles.
