Join us for a festival for and by melanated folks! We’re gathering for 4 transformational days centering our healing and liberation. Share your name and email to join us for free!

We’ve been celebrated by:

We are living in revolutionary times.

Times that have challenged us to rise up in the name of liberation.
Times that have urged us to reclaim our magic and medicine.
Times that have called us to further divest from the systems that harm us.
Times that have reminded us that we are indeed our ancestors’ wildest dreams.

At this collective threshold, community matters more than ever.

We need one another.

To honor our grief.
To honor our joy.
To release our burdens.
And to vision decolonial possibilities.

Because we know in our bones…

Times like these are potent portals that can shape a new world. Global Healing Festival was created as a portal for Black women and femmes and folks of color to alchemize pain into power and possibility. A portal where our visions pollinate a new planet.

Together, some of the questions we’ll lean into:

  • What does it mean to heal intergenerationally?
  • What does it mean to move beyond surviving into thriving?
  • What does it mean to reclaim our animal bodies and connection to nature?
  • What does it mean to center ourselves unapologetically?
  • What does it mean to create new narratives beyond the colonial mind?

We’ve brought together today’s modern day wisdom keepers, respected elders, change-weavers, activists, organizers, visionary artists, leaders and culture-shapers of the Global Majority to explore these questions.

Through live experiential offerings you’ll explore the themes of intergenerational healing, trauma, somatics, spirituality, leadership, embodiment and social change while weaving arts, movement, storytelling, pleasure and more.

It’s happening August 17th – August 20th online.
And it’s 100% free to participate!

OUR ORIGINS

 

Our first gathering took place pre-pandemic in February 2020 and was created to give more access to wellness and mental health resources to the BIPOC community specifically Black and POC women and femmes, non-binary and gender non-conforming folks. Through word of mouth our first gathering attracted thousands of participants across the globe. Little did we realize what was to come just around the corner a global pandemic, the murder of George Floyd, uprising in the name of Black lives and hate crimes against Asians and other communities of color.

 

Since that time we’ve expanded this grassroots effort and this year we’re over the moon to share that the 3rd Annual Global Healing Festival presented by Embodied Black Girl has 4 days of tranformational offerings to support our community!

Although we’ve expanded this gathering is still 100% free and 100% virtual to serve our global community.

This year our workshops will dive into topics like intergenerational healing, trauma, somatics, spirituality, leadership, embodiment and social change through experiential experiences weaving together art, movement, storytelling, pleasure and more.

 

It’s taking place from August 17th – August 20th all virtually.  Join us for free and invite your friends.

Omgeee!!! That was so much fun! Thank you to everyone who showed up today. My heart is really full! 💜💜💜

I’m amazed that it’s been nearly 15 years since forging my path doing my soul’s work in the world.

In these years, I’ve learned a whole lot and this is the first time I’m talking about some of those hard won lessons. Over the years I’ve held space in person and virtually for thousands of folks of all backgrounds and it’s been a gift. Artists, activists, CEOs, movement builders, healers, birth workers + more all medicine people doing work that’s so needed in the world.

I hope some of these lessons and framings are of service to you. I also share about Decolonial Leadership - a council, a circle, a caucus to alchemize your ancestral gifts and galvanize your deepest work.

I’m inviting in women who want to sit together in a wisdom council with those who care deeply, deeply care.

❤️‍🔥This is for those who want to relate to your work as a devotional path of stewardship.

❤️‍🔥This is for those who want to move beyond a culture that centers premature death, destruction and depletion and recognize that you deserve to be sustained by your work.

❤️‍🔥This is for those who want to share your deep medicine as a practice of reverence to your elevated Guides, Ancestors and Spirit.

❤️‍🔥This is for those who want to cultivate a deep relationship with your intuition and trust the medicine that lives in your bones.

❤️‍🔥This is for those who want to lay down the weapons of martyrdom and embrace divine reciprocity.

I truly know that our soul’s work is our contribution to the whole and integral in creating ecosystems and economies of care that center justice, liberation and dignity for all.

You can explore all the details and apply at DecolonialLeadership.com and if you want to connect with me there’s an option to schedule a time in my calendar too (link in bio @embodiedblackgirl).

Thanks for being here. 💜

I’m going to be sharing all about Decolonial Leadership - a council, a circle, a caucus to alchemize your ancestral gifts and galvanize your deepest work.

If you crave support for your work in the world in a way that will blow your heart wide open AND that weaves somatics with the sacred in a way that’s not only magical but practical then you’ll want to join me.

This container is so special and I can’t wait to share it with you. 😊

I’ll be also sharing hard won lessons on honoring my soul’s work for the past 15 years! I’ve held space in person and virtually for thousands of folks of all backgrounds and it’s been a gift. Artists, activists, CEOs, movement builders, healers, birth workers + more all medicine people doing work that’s so needed in the world.

For the first time I’m sharing some of the lessons I’ve learned along the path.

I’ll be going live on the @embodiedblackgirl IG page so join me there! Friday, September 8th at 1pm EST. Click on the reminder button to set a notification.

Looking forward to connecting then!

There were so many magical moments at our last retreat! Too many to name, but here’s a few…
🧘🏿‍♀️Morning yoga and being serenaded with a variety of instruments.
🌊The music of the Caribbean Sea.
☀️Waking up at sunrise and greeting ourselves and one another with love and reverence.
🥑🍉🥭The food, ohhh the food. Incredible!!!
💦Skinny dipping in the ocean.
🌀Deep soul shares.
🤣Laughing so hard our sides hurt.
❤️And the best part — sisterhood, being seen without pretense, just love.
So grateful for this time. These women. Our community. 🙏🏾💖
Our next retreat is in November and we have 1 spot left! If you’re feeling called to be there dm me and let’s chat. #embodiedblackgirl

The brilliant Dr. Jennifer Mullan @decolonizingtherapy sharing about energetic boundaries. This is from an amazing session at our Global Healing Festival last month!

With the news this week of men policing women’s bodies and weaponzing therapeutic concepts 🙄 let’s do a refresher on what boundaries are and are not. 🤗
