We are really excited to have Ms. Alita Henderson joining us to talk about her project: Say I Love You to Yourself. Ms. Henderson writes: "Taking the time to pause and reflect on your personal needs…your self-care needs is the reason I promote “Say I Love You To Yourself”. I facilitate a safe space to engage in this work and help you get reacquainted with what nurtures and nourishes you. This formula will be different for each of us.
"The external forces of our society (institutional racism, the minor aggressions) that we normalize or internalize, negatively impact our whole person (mind, body & spirit). We must change this paradigm. We must become the balm to our wounded souls. We must learn to speak healing over ourselves and to one another. Learning to appreciate ourselves is the start of this healing path."
Bring your pounding sticks. Ava will lead us in a song.
Upcoming: October 25, 2-4 p.m., Iya Arisika Razak will host an ancestor meditation workshop.
You can bring a person of African Ancestry to the meeting with you. Let me know the person's name and email address in advance. These events are free, but we ask for a donation for the facilitators. The 25th Annual MAAFA Commemoration is next month too. Sunday, Oct. 11, 11-1:30 PM PT we will have a Virtual MAAFA Commemoration Ritual broadcast via Zoom and maybe YouTube. I have attached a flier. The beach ceremony is by invitation only. You can watch this (6 AM PT- 7:15 AM PT) as well via Facebook.com/maafabayarea
