Yes!!! Thats why at @_beamorg we hold monthly group healing circles- they are led by trained wellness practitioners and therapists exploring healing strategies and more—we want to normalize collective care that builds up our communities!
As well as emphasising the need for structural change - which is absolutely no. 1 - I'm also interested in what therapeutic or healing modalities that are a community practice (rather than individual therapy) might look like. None of us heal alone.

Election season is here! We know that the feeling of overwhelm by the constant flow of emotionally charged content and differing opinions can settle into our spirits. Which is BEAM believes it's so important for us to stay grounded and prioritize our mental health! Join us virtually as we discuss navigating the noise together 🔇💙 #election #wellness #mentalhealth eventbrite.com/e/heart-space…

#MindfulMonday @OssiningSchools It is important to take some time to center your nervous system and simply breath! #YouMatter
Events in the world have us all under continued distress. We are sharing an #AfterPractice video from #BlackHealingRemixed the podcast, to invite you all to take a moment to breathe. This practice is called “Box Breathing”. In this practice we breathe in for 4 seconds, hold it for 4 seconds, breathe out for 4 seconds, hold again for 4 and repeat! Led by: @YoloAkili Give yourself a moment to reduce some of the anxiety and stress and invite ease and flow! 😮‍💨 Let us know how you feel afterwards in the comments!

You are allowed to change your mind, your path, and your priorities. You don’t owe anyone the same version of you forever—growth looks good on you.
