Dominant systems have caused harm for generations, disconnecting communities from ancestral healing, mind-body connection, the Earth, and each other.
This goes beyond representation—it’s about the inaccessibility of healing practices, the erasure of cultural heritage, and the disconnection of wellness from the diverse identities that shape our world.
The time to shift the narrative and take action is now.
Reclaiming Wellness is a transformative virtual workshop series designed to challenge the dominant wellness paradigm and ignite a conversation about how we can create truly create inclusive wellness spaces that center and uplift communities of color, marginalized identities, and diverse healing practices.
We invite you to be a part of this critical movement towards creating wellness spaces that are healing, accessible, and inclusive of all identities, cultures, and communities.
Join us in Reclaiming Wellness.
