Black Girls With Green Thumbs: Family Wellness Retreat

A weekend of breath, rhythm, and renewal — and everyone had a seat at the table. We moved, we gathered, we exhaled together. The Urban Shamans led a drum workshop that put the heartbeat back in our hands, and the dance workshop got every generation moving and laughing. We took to the trail for a family hike, found our footing in nature, and filled the rest of the time with wellness practices that fed body and spirit alike.

It was the kind of gathering that reminds you healing happens in community — across ages, side by side. These frames hold all that good energy. Take your time strolling through.
