Sounds + Sacred Spaces Initiative
The Mission
To create an accessible yoga offering that provides a healing space centered on the lived experiences of the Black, Indigenous, and people of color in our community.
Our Vision
To bridge the gaps between access to mindfulness practices and ceremony, while creating a community that is living well, mindful, and centered.
Program Summary
Sound + Sacred Space supports our community by bringing people of color together with the intention of creating a compassionate and safe space to educate, share tools, and techniques that support overall health, wellness, healing, and self-care.
​
By collaborating with local BIPOC business owners, we will uplift, support, and work together to create more visibility and financial support.
​
In collaboration with fellow BIPOC teachers, we will hold sessions that showcase the diversity and uniqueness of each teacher while creating a platform for each to grow their own business and offerings.
​
In addition, this series will create an outlet and activities for those that need an alternative to the drinking and party culture.
