Wellness Wednesdays: Every Wednesday Virtual Meditations
Breathe. Pause. Reflect. Connect.
Join us every Wednesday at 12:30 PM for Let’s Breathe, a virtual guided meditation designed to help you reset, release, and restore. These sessions are a gentle reminder that self-care is not selfish—it’s survival, it’s revolutionary, and it’s yours.
✨ No experience needed.
✨ All are welcome.
✨ Just bring yourself.
Whether you're a survivor, advocate, healer, or simply in need of space—this is for you.
Together, we breathe. Together, we heal. Together, we rise.

Breathe Life Sister Circle: May 18, 2025
May is Mental Health Awareness Month — a powerful time to pause, reflect, and prioritize our inner well-being. This month’s Breathe Life Sister Circle is a sacred space dedicated to the emotional and mental health of Black and Brown women — a space where we can remove the mask, name our struggles, and reclaim our healing.
Far too often, we carry the weight of the world behind a smile, navigating life, motherhood, relationships, work, and past pain in silence. This month, we’re giving voice to what lives beneath the surface — the anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, and pressure that so many women face — and affirming that we deserve to be seen, supported, and held.
Join us for a heart-centered gathering where we will:
- Engage in guided conversation and storytelling
- Explore creative expression to release what we’re carrying
- Practice breathing and mindfulness tools for everyday care
- Connect with a sisterhood of healing and hope
This is more than a support group — it’s a movement toward liberation, wellness, and radical self-love. Come exactly as you are. Your truth, your presence, and your peace matter here.
Let this be the month you choose yourself — mind, body, and spirit.connections, and embracing the strength found in community.
Breathe Life Wellness Walk: May 24, 2025
Rooted in Nature, Empowered in Healing
Mental wellness doesn’t always start in a therapy room. Sometimes it begins on a quiet trail, with fresh air in your lungs, sun on your skin, and your feet grounded in the Earth.
This Mental Health Awareness Month, we invite you to take a step toward healing—literally. Join us for a walk that honors rest, reflection, and reconnection.
Wellness lives in the breath.
Healing begins in nature.
And you don’t have to do it alone.
Join us Saturday, May 24, 2025 for our Breathe Life Wellness Community Walk & Flow.
