Holding Space: Grief, Transformation, and Collective Imagination w/ Black Brown + Breathing

A community healing circle co-hosting by Black Brown + Breathing and BE-IMAGINATIVE

About this Event

2020 is coming to an end, and this year brought immense change and challenges for all of us.

Black Brown + Breathing will join BE-IMAGINATIVE to host a final activation to reflect on the past year, to collectively grieve who and what is no longer with us, and to imagine the futures we wish to build moving forward.

We will move, meditate, and hold community dialogue alongside Ayesha Walker, the co-founder and director of BE-IMAGINATIVE. Ayesha will also facilitate a ritual to honor those who have passed on, and to bring their memory with us into 2021.

Optional items to bring

  • Images of a loved one or loved ones who you would like to honor or remember

  • An object or practice that helped you to find peace this year

  • Pillows, blankets, a yoga mat (anything that makes you feel comfortable)

  • Water

  • Something to write with
