2026 Sankofa CPE Clergy and Chaplains' Mental Wellness Conference
April 21–24, 2026 | Chicago Marriott Oak Brook
“Healing Ourselves. Honoring Our Ancestors. Holding Sacred Space for Each Other.”
At the Sankofa CPE Clergy and Chaplains' Mental Wellness Conference, we believe that rest, restoration, and resistance are sacred acts. This transformative event gathers Black pastors, chaplains, and spiritual caregivers from across the country to center their own well-being - emotionally, spiritually, and communally.
We invite seminaries, CPE centers, nonprofit institutions, congregations, ministries, and small businesses to walk with us. Help us create a space where those who give care to others receive the care they deserve.
By becoming a sponsor, you are not only supporting a conference; you are investing in Black excellence, healing justice, and prophetic leadership.
