Black Men Making Moves
About this Event
Black men coming together in community using various activities and mediums to create and curate a more conscious way of being and walking through the world. Redefining what it means to restore their hearts and minds, utilising different wellbeing tools to facilitate growth in themselves.
Black men's identities are constantly being threatened, overlooked, or seen as a threat to society. This often leads to a sense of disconnection from themselves, their friends, families, women in their cultures, and even their brothers.
But what if there was a way to facilitate healing in your brain and body indirectly and subconsciously through play using different art forms? The aim is to get your mind and body to remember what it was like to play, have fun, make new friends, and not be judged for any of it.
This is Black Men Making Moves.

DISCLAIMER:
Our mission at HAVEN is to bring Black Men from all walks of life together. We do not accept any form of homophobia, transphobia, or discrimination of any kind. All Black Men are welcomed.
