Together, we ignite new and renewed ways of connection, being, culture, joy, and wellness. This year, we are offering an 8-week cohort, weekly on Thursday in the fall of 2025.

Black Girls/Enbies Matter (BGEM) is a space to discuss Black identities and experiences, normalize conversations around mental health, self-care, emotions, and boundaries, as well as create community support and healing. This group will incorporate both conversation space as well as opportunities to integrate the body into healing practices.
