Book Discussion: Cracking the Healer’s Code – A Prescription for Healing Racism & Finding Wholeness by Milagros Phillips
As a participant in the Bloomington Multi-Faith Alliance (BMA), the Racial Justice Task Force at UUCB is offering this shared read as part of UUCB Lifespan RE. This book was chosen because of its emphasis on healing and wholeness, providing insights, hope, and concrete actions we can do today to change our collective tomorrow. Based on her decades of experience creating safe spaces for engaging in difficult conversations, Ms. Phillips gives historical context for our present racial conditioning and takes us through the stages of healing, which requires awareness, connection, and action.
In addition to the book read, there will be community events with the author from 3 - 5 p.m. on Sunday, September 7th, 2025 and Sunday, January 18th, 2026. Community members will come together at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington for these events and Ms. Phillips will join remotely.

As restrictions are placed on publicly funded entities, it is more critical than ever that faith communities stay engaged with the work of racial justice learning and transformation. Please join in this effort. There are several ways you can participate. Everyone is invited to the community events with the author that will be held here at UUCB. You are also encouraged to read the book – either individually, with the group at UUCB, with a group at another faith community (these are still forming), or with a group you form on your own. The UUCB group will meet on these Wednesday evenings, 6:30 - 8pm: Sept 17, Oct. 8 & 22, Nov. 5 & 19, Dec. 3. If this does not work for you but you would like to be part of a group, please register and specify “I need another time” or “I want to form my own group” and you will be contacted via email as more options become available.
This book read/discussion will be led by Ruth Aydt, Chair of the Racial Justice Task Force. Please try to attend most of the meetings as that is helpful for group discussion continuity.
