  • Together We Heal: A Community Healing Circle

    Together We Heal: A Community Healing Circle

    This free session, led by the Sacred Spring Reiki Collective, will invite people to heal in community. We don’t have to face our fears or problems alone. Communally, we can overcome great challenges. Calm the mind through the practice of intentional breathing, gentle movement, and reiki energy healing, allowing you to tap into the deep well of ancestral wisdom we each carry within.

    Brought to you as part of the 2025 AfroMundo Festival. Register here for this event in NHCC’s Ortega Salon: https://my.nmculture.org/43366/43469
