Grief and joy share the same heartbeat.

When we move, breathe, and create with intention, both can flow—clearing space for true rest.

Experience collective healing through movement, tea alchemy, and shared ritual, reminding us that rest deepens and grief lightens when we breathe and witness one another in community.

Join us on June 23 from 6-9pm PDT for a tender workshop that blends communal care, movement, and personalized herbal teas to soothe grief, spark joy, and rejuvenate Black bodies.
