Wellness Events & Workshops
Welcome to Village of Sound Mind’s Community Events—a space created with intention, care, and connection at the center. Our events are designed to hold space for folx seeking healing, self-discovery, and community support. Whether through workshops, support circles, or interactive discussions, we provide opportunities to explore personal growth, navigate life’s challenges, and build meaningful connections. Join us as we cultivate spaces that affirm, uplift, and empower—because healing isn’t meant to be done alone.
Holding Space: Protecting Your Peace-Beyond Boundaries
Protecting your peace is deeper than saying “no.” This month’s Holding Space gathering invites you to explore what lies beyond traditional boundary-setting—energetic limits, emotional labor, and the silent ways we stretch ourselves to keep the peace.
This 90-minute virtual session centers Black women and femmes who are ready to examine how peace feels in their body, not just how it looks to others. Through guided reflection, gentle somatic grounding, and journaling, we’ll create a space where your truth is enough—and your rest is sacred.
If you attend, you can expect:
A communal, non-recorded space rooted in care and confidentiality
A grounding opening ritual + community agreements
Reflective prompts around energy leaks and peace-building
Somatic check-ins to help you tune into your nervous system
Optional space for sharing and connection
A digital workbook with affirmations, prompts, and healing resources
A curated playlist to keep you anchored after the event
No prep is required—just bring your journal, a pen, and a soft space to land.
Holding Space: Healing From Family Wounds
Holding Space: A Monthly Community Gathering for Black Women
Holding Space is a monthly virtual series designed to provide Black women with a safe, affirming space for reflection, healing, and connection. Held on the fourth Sunday of each month, this gathering offers an intentional pause—a time to process emotions, share experiences, and engage in supportive dialogue with a like-minded community.
What to Expect:
Guided Reflection & Discussion – Explore themes of healing, joy, grief, and aligned personal growth through thoughtful prompts and conversation.
Community Connection – Engage in a supportive, judgment-free space where your voice and experiences are honored.
Mindfulness & Somatic Practices – Participate in gentle grounding exercises, breathwork, or visualizations to help regulate emotions.
Practical Tools for Healing – Leave each session with affirmations, journaling prompts, and resources to support your journey beyond the gathering.
Who It’s For:
This space centers Black women seeking community, healing, and deeper self-reflection. Whether you're navigating a life transition, managing stress, or simply looking for a space where you can just be, you are welcome here.
Sessions are live only to ensure an intimate and present experience. Bring a journal, a quiet space, and an open heart. 💛
Join us as we hold space together—one month, one conversation, one moment at a time.
In April, we will explore Healing from Family Wounds
Family is supposed to be our first place of safety — but for many of us, it’s where the deepest wounds were formed.
This month in Holding Space, we’re gathering to reflect on the impact of those wounds — not to dwell in them, but to create room for honest acknowledgment, embodied release, and gentle reclamation. Whether you’re navigating complicated dynamics, grieving unmet needs, learning to set boundaries, or redefining what family means for you, this space is for you.
✨ Holding Space is a monthly offering centering Black women and our experiences. This isn’t group therapy — it’s a soft place to land. Come as you are. We’ll reflect, breathe, share, and begin again — together.
This month, we’ll explore:
The messages we internalized from our family stories
How family roles impact our sense of self and relationships
Reclaiming your truth when it was never reflected back to you
The power of boundaries, grief, and chosen family
Tools to support healing from emotional and generational pain
💜 There will be journal prompts, gentle somatic work, community sharing, and moments of reflection. This is a live-only space to protect the sacredness of what we’re building.
Personal Liberation Workshop
Step into alignment. Release self-judgment. Embrace your truth.
What does personal liberation look like for you? How do you break free from limiting beliefs, guilt, and external expectations to live a life that feels authentic and aligned?
The Personal Liberation Workshop is a transformative, interactive experience designed to help you:
✔ Assess what is holding you back
✔ Align with your truth and values
✔ Liberate yourself from self-judgment, guilt, and societal conditioning
Through guided self-reflection, embodiment exercises, and the Aligned & Liberate framework, you’ll gain practical tools to navigate life with more clarity, intention, and freedom—regardless of the systems around you.
What to Expect:
A 90-minute live virtual session exploring self-awareness, healing, and aligned action
Practical strategies to shift from survival mode to intentional, liberated living
Somatic and mindfulness practices to reconnect with your body’s wisdom
A resource workbook to continue your growth beyond the workshop
A session recording so you can revisit the material anytime
Who is this for?
This workshop is open to everyone, but the facilitator’s work centers Women of Color and their lived experiences. If you're ready to move beyond self-doubt, redefine success on your own terms, and cultivate joy as an act of resistance—this space is for you.
Ready to step into your liberation?
Join us and take the first step toward a life that feels true to you.
