HOLISTIC HEALING & WELLNESS FOR BLACK GIRLS

LAB DESCRIPTION:

This Love & Learning Lab, Holistic Healing & Wellness for Black Girls, is designed to support young girls as they define for themselves what it means to be holistically well. As a group we will explore our existence as sacred beings. We will learn best practices associated with meditation, sacred speech, positive thinking, and holistic, revolutionary self-care. Through guided practice we will design our own rituals to support ourselves in pursuit of wellness. Lab content will be informed by Black History and Culture.
