Juneteenth Black Embodied Healing Space
FREE Juneteenth Black Embodied Healing Space at Juneteenth! This space is intentionally curated for Black bodies where women, femmes, QT Black bodied, and disabled folx are centered.
During the 5-hour embodied space, somatic treatments will be offered and supportive dialogue fostered. We know the importance of our Black youth to have safe(r) healing space(s), but for this particular event, participants must be 18 years (by June 17th) and older. Participants will receive “love bundles” for body, mind and spirit. Space is limited to 15 folx; therefore, registration is first come, first serve. We encourage you to register early!
