About this Event

Welcome to Pencils Down Feet Up! From Burnout to Lighting the Way

(*Children are Welcome)

Pencils Down Feet Up, is a Collective Restoration & Wellness Event Series organized by Cuidate Collective & friends! It is created by, and for educators, healers, mental health providers, specifically our BIPOC & LGBTQAI+ folks that are working towards our collective liberation.

This winter we will explore our journeys with burnout (IYKYK), and share knowledge with one another about how we continue to light the way, and prevent burn out - for ourselves, our communities, those who depend on our ability to remain energized, enraged, and hopeful.

In this event we will get in touch with our heat, our vitality, our tonali, a practice that many of our ancestors believed in accessing in various ways; for when we felt cold, our lights were more easily burnt out.

Join us for a powerfully curated night of energizing & reflective holistic healing.

Get ready to put your pencils down and kick your feet up as we dive into various hands-on activities, unwind together, and come away with strategies and connections that can light the way for us too, because we cannot/should not do this alone!

Do you know other healers, educators/activists that would enjoy something like this? Have them come thru!

Tickets are sliding scale from FREE to $80 (or more!) based on your socioeconomic situation, and ability to contribute for the energy exchange of the healers who make up this beautiful event.

All tickets include ALL holistic healing programming, food, and Cuidate Care packages!

We can't wait to see you there!

**Please bring a mat - we have a limited amount available
