Join us as we explore self-care practices that foster joy in healing and are rooted in the traditional knowledge and wisdom of our grandmothers. Community members will engage in dialogue, written reflections, and mindfulness exercises to engage their own ancestral knowledge and wisdom. This is an invitation to prepare your individual spaces and create a collective healing experience and culturally-grounded experiential process centering folx of color.
