About this Event

You must book your spot through our website: []


DC Black Pride weekend is a lot of things. Loud, beautiful, full, unforgettable. And somewhere in the middle of all of that, your body, mind, and spirit deserve a moment to exhale.

Lesbifriends Travel is linking up with We BE Walkin' for Walk, Breathe, Rise for a Sunday morning nature gathering designed to slow the weekend down in the best way possible. Think fresh air, a scenic walk through the U.S. National Arboretum, a grounding yoga flow with Devyn of Surrender + Flow, light snacks, and meaningful connection with your community. This is how we close out Black Pride. Soft, intentional, and together.
