WE TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER WITH AFENI EVANS AND PHOENIX
Wed. Mar 25 @ 8:00PM
An interactive course on mutual aid, community care, building power, and staying safe, both online and offline. Leave feeling empowered with tools for embodiment such as breathwork and meditation, to support you as you do the necessary work in your communities. Stay grounded with resources to help keep you going, because to sustain the movement and ourselves, we work together, we protect each other, and we take care of ourselves to continue in this fight for our collective liberation.
