Healing the Homies was born from the understanding that in order to sustain the communities we are building, we must look at wellness from the lens of community where those who are on the frontlines of supporting, creating and mobilizing the community through activism, healing, education, organizing and arts also need to be looked after and cared for deeply. We often forget to prioritize our own self care and well-being because of the heavy demand on our time, energy and gifts which leads to burn out, mental, physical and spiritual ailments. This workshop gives you daily tools using your breath, body. food and herbs to prevent and reduce stress, anxiety and burnout. When we support ourselves and our homies in their healing, our communities have a much better chance of flourishing long term.
