Workshop: Caring for Our Communities and the Land

Join us for action-oriented workshops dedicated to cleaning, healing, and honoring our neighborhoods and natural spaces. Together, we’ll learn how caring for the land is a sacred act—deeply rooted in our ancestral traditions and our responsibility to future generations.

In this workshop, we will:
🧹 Organize a local clean-up effort to beautify and reclaim our shared spaces
🌿 Learn about environmental justice and the impact of pollution on communities of color
🌻 Explore traditional practices of land stewardship and reciprocity with nature

This is more than just a clean-up—it's a commitment to nurturing our community’s health, pride, and connection to the Earth.

Come build with us—because when we care for our land, we care for ourselves.

Healing Circles: Mental Health Support Groups for Men & Women

Join our community healing circles, safe and sacred spaces where men and women gather separately to share, reflect, and support one another on the path to emotional wellness and liberation.

These two groups are dedicated to:
💬 Creating space for vulnerability—where honesty is honored and emotions are held without judgment
🛠️ Breaking generational cycles—by addressing the internalized patterns that keep us stuck in pain, silence, or survival mode
🤝 Building community strength—through mutual support, listening, and culturally grounded healing practices

Led by facilitators who understand the unique struggles within our communities, these groups offer a space to be seen, heard, and held—with compassion and intention.

Together, we heal. Together, we rise. Join us in breaking barriers and building something stronger.
