Returning to Self

Free and open to all. RSVPs are rec­om­mend­ed, but not required. 

Join us for a day of work­shops, per­for­mances, and cel­e­bra­tions for all ages that will cre­ate com­mu­ni­ty and ele­vate Black voic­es. Through this day-long event, we will work togeth­er to cre­ate a safe and nur­tur­ing space for self care and reflec­tion where par­tic­i­pants can tune in to their needs, hon­or their feel­ings, and begin to return to themselves.
