The benefits of meditation, yoga, and journaling are well-known, but how many of us make time for them daily? To form new habits and deepen our practice, it’s often helpful to learn with like-minded peers alongside experienced practitioners.
In this full-day workshop, we’ll explore and practice activities that can be implemented in our daily lives to foster a greater sense of calm and wellbeing. A delicious, catered lunch will be provided along with a tea-pouring and interactive herbalism mini-workshop.
We’ll be facilitating these workshops in New York City to begin, before expanding to the Bay Area and other key cities. Our culturally-responsive wellness framework has been curated with the stress management needs of professional black men in mind.
Together we will:
- Explore notions of masculinity, the black experience in America, and challenges at work and home
- Affirm ourselves and each other through a compassionate and historically-informed lens
- Practice activities that build self-esteem, self-love, and holistic wellness
- Analyze opportunities for growth in our personal and professional lives
- Participate in an interactive herbalism and plant medicine mini-workshop
- Create actionable strategies to remain grounded in moments of turbulence
