North Star Black Cooperative Fellowship Black Study Session: Self-care and Community Care

Join the North Star Black Cooperative Fellowship for a Black Study Session on self-care and community care!

Wednesday, April 30

5:00 - 7:00 pm CDT

Zoom (virtual)

This Black Study Session will hold space for participants to experience self-care and community care with a focus on embodied practices. Guest speakers for the Black Study Session include Priscilla Momah with Coco Womb Wellness and Alanna Morris with I A.M. Arts and Roots and Wings Institute for Embodied Wisdoms. Priscilla Momah will engage participants in a guided meditation and sound bath experience rooted in cultivating care through deep listening, soulful soundscapes, and restorative presence. Alanna Morris will lead participants in somatic, embodied practice (an integration of mindfulness, movement, and mantra) to elevate participants' wellness, facilitated through an equity-driven, liberatory praxis known as Black Light Research: a methodology for ritualized living and performance practice. Please wear clothing you feel comfortable moving in and be in an environment where you are fully present to participate in this session. Join us for an evening to learn together and engage in shared practices in community with one another.

Black Study Sessions are free, virtual, live, and open to all while centering Black people and Black experiences. This is a Black-centered space where we will prioritize uplifting Black voices and safety.
