About this Event
On Saturday, September 27, and invite you to Rest Reclaimed: A Sound Bath Experience for Black Women for an evening of intentional rest, reflection, and connection at .
As Black women, the world often demands that we move faster, work harder, and carry more than we should. Choosing to slow down is not always easy, as it requires courage, boundaries, and a discipline of its own. To rest, to soften, to be held in community, these should not be considered luxuries, but necessary acts of reclamation.
Rest Reclaimed is an invitation to lay your burdens down and step into a safe space where softness meets discipline, where rest becomes both resistance and renewal. Together, we’ll ground ourselves in sisterhood, nourish our bodies with food and conversation, and surrender to soothing frequencies during the heart of the evening in a guided sound bath.
With ethos of prioritizing well-being through intentional, nurturing products, and dedication to cultivating restorative social spaces for Black women, this evening marks the convergence of our visions. Together, we affirm that rest is your right, your power, and your fuel.
Come ready to breathe, release, and reconnect with yourself, your dreams, and a community that honours both your hustle and your softness.
If cost is a barrier and you’d love to join, please DM Merisa or Kam .
