Upcoming Programs & Events
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.
July 20, 2025 - Breathe Life Sister Circle
This July, our Breathe Life Sister Circle and SUSO-NC invite you into a transformative space guided by the theme: “Release. Restore. Rise.” As we journey through the heart of summer, we’re called to let go of what weighs us down, nurture our inner being, and rise renewed into the fullness of our lives. This month’s gathering is dedicated to releasing emotional burdens, restoring our minds and hearts, and rising into our power and purpose.
Through meaningful dialogue, creative practices, and collective healing, we’ll cultivate deeper alignment with peace and possibility. Join us for a soul-nourishing circle where we will:
- Share in guided conversations and heartfelt storytelling
- Engage in creative activities to help release and renew
- Practice breathwork and mindfulness for daily restoration
- Connect with a sisterhood committed to healing and hope
This is more than a gathering — it’s a sacred movement toward freedom, wellness, and radical self-love. Come exactly as you are. Your story, your spirit, and your journey are honored here. Let this be the month you choose yourself — mind, body, and spirit.
July 26, 2025 - Breathe Life Wellness Walk & Flow
Join us for the Breathe Life Wellness Walk & Flow – July Edition
"You don’t have to earn rest. You are worthy of rest because you exist."
— Dr. Thema Bryant
This month, SUSO-NC invites families, and community members of all ages to pause with purpose — not just to walk, but to rest, restore, and reclaim. At Lake Lynn, where turtles bask in the sun and herons glide over
quiet waters, we’ll gather to move gently, breathe deeply, and honor the sacred act of slowing down. This walk centers the joy, healing, and presence of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, offering space to
reconnect with the land and ourselves.
Together, we’ll walk wooded trails, witness wildlife, and hold space for reflection and renewal. Whether you come to release what’s heavy, reset your spirit, or remember your worth, this space is yours — created with care, intention, and cultural pride. We are resting from the grind of survival, from being unseen, unheard, and overextended. We are resting from systems that demand our labor but rarely honor our light. We are resting from the myth that we must “earn” our peace. Come as you are.
Let’s walk, rest, and rise — together.
