As BIPOC peoples, it is time to reconnect to the joy that is intrinsic to our being! Join us for 2 days of self-healing and celebration at Benedict Canyon Retreat House in Beverly Hills.
Opening to Joy
Our BIPOC communities can offer a passion and resilience that is vital to our healing. In these times of catastrophic climate change, racial hatred, a globe-spanning pandemic, virulent homophobia and transphobia, it is imperative we reconnect to the joy that is an integral part of our being.
During this 2-day retreat, we will use a variety of embodied modalities including movement, sound, ritual, and meditation to access the joy that is our birthright. Joy is one of the antidotes to trauma. Opening to joy helps increase our capacity for self-care and healing in the face of intergenerational trauma in BIPOC communities. Come join us!
At this retreat, you will learn to:
- Resource yourself when activated
- Increase your tools for self-healing
- Increase your capacity to experience joy
