Healing means putting the heart, the courage and the energy back in our bodies with our own culture.

Resources for Healing & restoration
We co-create healing and restoration resources with SOUL. Most recently in response to Covid-19 and ongoing ways that white supremacy, racist violence and anti-black racism continue to harm us and to cause us injury that have resulted in what many are insisting is a racial reckoning. Including our Stopping the Clock Series for Black Grief done in collaboration with members of our Diasporic Soul family, including Maimouna Dembele, Nana Lawson Bush, Kyra Shahid, Adrian Parker, Taylor Zachary and more as well as the Stained Glass Initiative at Xavier University, the Bryant Educational Leadership Group (BELG) and Chez Alpha Books|Dakar. We also offered Restorative Yoga as part of Stopping the Clock and during the 2020-2021 holiday season.
BLOG POST – February 2020 : Acknowledging Grief
Diasporic Soul-in-Residence
We hold space for creatives and artists, educators and youth workers, organizers and change agents, and those who hope to find stillness. To heal and restore. To ground. To center. To root. To restore their connections to source, to the energy that Walker speaks of, to their SOUL. To nature. To their capacity to create. To live the questions. To trust themselves, to trust the Universe. To explore, to be curious.
