About this Event

Joint Sanctuary is an in-person quarterly gathering (4x/year) that brings together Black Women’s Sanctuary and Santuario Latino para Mujeres in one shared, healing-centered space. Different languages and roots—many shared pressures: caregiving load, discrimination, economic stress, isolation, and the expectation to stay “strong.”

This isn’t a panel. It’s a guided experience designed to help you exhale, connect across cultures, and leave more grounded—with community, reflection, and a creative or movement-based practice each quarter.


What to expect
  • Warm welcome + grounding (arrive as you are)
  • Guided circle conversation (sharing is optional; listening counts)
  • Cross-cultural connection and mutual learning (English/Spanish space)
  • A closing that helps you leave lighter—not cracked open

2026 Quarterly themes
  1. Women’s History Month: Body Wisdom + Balance
    Guided conversation + movement exploring the menstrual cycle and perimenopause—welcoming balance and honoring hormonal shifts.
  2. Food, Culture & Care (with Fresh Approach)
    Workshop + cooking demo on Health at Every Size, Intuitive Eating, and Mindful Eating.
  3. Bloom Under the Sun: August Wellness Circle
    Yoga flow, breathwork, stretching, and a gratitude walk.
  4. The Art of Healing with Love
    Testimonies from both sanctuaries (healing through DV and cancer support) followed by painting flowers with intention tied to breast cancer awareness.

Community agreements

Confidentiality, respect, non-judgment, and speaking from “I.” This is a supportive community space—not therapy or crisis care.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Santuario Conjunto es un encuentro presencial trimestral (4 veces al año) que une a Black Women’s Sanctuary y Santuario Latino para Mujeres en un mismo espacio de sanación y comunidad. Idiomas y culturas distintas—muchas cargas compartidas: la responsabilidad de cuidar, la discriminación, el estrés económico, el aislamiento y la presión de “ser fuertes”.

No es una conferencia. Es una experiencia guiada para respirar, conectar entre culturas y salir más tranquila—con comunidad, reflexión y una práctica creativa o de movimiento en cada trimestre.


Qué esperar
  • Bienvenida cálida + un momento para aterrizar (llegas como eres)
  • Círculo facilitado (compartir es opcional; escuchar también cuenta)
  • Conexión intercultural y aprendizaje mutuo (espacio en inglés/español)
  • Cierre para que te vayas más liviana—no abrumada

Temas trimestrales 2026
  1. Mes de la Historia de la Mujer: Sabiduría del cuerpo + equilibrio
    Conversación guiada + movimiento sobre el ciclo menstrual y la perimenopausia, para encontrar balance y honrar cambios hormonales.
  2. Alimentación, cultura y cuidado (con Fresh Approach)
    Taller + demo de cocina sobre Health at Every Size, alimentación intuitiva y alimentación consciente.
  3. Florecer bajo el sol: Círculo de bienestar (agosto)
    Yoga suave, respiración, estiramientos y caminata de gratitud.
  4. El arte de sanar con amor
    Testimonios de ambos santuarios (sanación en DV y apoyo en cáncer) y luego pintura de flores con intención vinculada a la concientización del cáncer de mama.

Acuerdos del espacio

Confidencialidad, respeto, cero juicio y hablar desde el “yo.” Es un espacio comunitario de apoyo—no es terapia ni atención de crisis.
