You don’t need fixing. You need space to heal. And a circle to belong to.
Meditate + Move is where heart, mind, body, soul, and spirit meet the breath and return to presence—together.
So for the past few weeks I’ve poured my heart and ancestors into—Meditate + Move: A Return to Ourselves, a decolonial mindfulness course for femmes and women of the global majority. This isn’t just a program; it’s a sacred space I created out of deep need and deep love. And I’ll be talking about it a lot because I believe it’s the kind of medicine we don’t get offered nearly enough, especially not in ways that honor our histories, our bodies, or our full humanity.
I didn’t build this offering because I thought the world needed another mindfulness course. I built it because I watched too many femmes, too many mothers, too many caregivers like myself burning out quietly, trying to “do it right,” while disappearing into systems that were never built with us in mind.
You know what I mean.
The version of wellness sold to us by the dominant culture is polished, sterile, hyper-individualized, and often whitewashed. It teaches us how to manage our stress, but not how to name its root. It tells us to “be calm” but not how to honor our rage. It gives us surface-level tools without context, culture, or community.
I created Meditate + Move: A Return to Ourselves because our healing isn’t linear or prescriptive—it’s rhythmic. It ebbs and flows. It lives in the body, not just the mind. And it belongs in spaces where we don’t have to perform stillness, where rest isn’t earned, and where we don’t have to hide the fullness of our humanity.
As I write this, I’m holding many roles.
I’m a full-time caregiver for my 95-year-old mama who lives with dementia.
I work full time in education advocacy.
I financially support my adult son who’s navigating depression, anxiety, and likely ASD.
I’m also a solopreneur building a business without relying on coercive capitalist strategies or white supremacist templates.
And still—I return to the breath. I move. I listen inward.
These practices don’t make the chaos disappear, but they offer me location within it.
They help me feel the ground beneath my feet when my thoughts spiral.
They remind me that even when I can’t “fix” the moment, I can meet it with presence.
But let’s be honest—there are times, especially when starting out, that the practice of stillness and presence, aka embodied awareness, may bring the opposite of calm.
That’s not because you’re doing it wrong it’s because mainstream mindfulness has been sold to us as a productivity tool.
A way to "clear our minds" so we can keep functioning and working while the world burns. But presence isn’t about bypassing the suffering it’s about learning to hold it with compassion and taking aligned action rooted in resistance and integrity.
This is why we practice together.
We lean on each other in moments of overwhelm, in moments of pause, in moments of release. No one should have to hold their healing alone.
This is inner care in service to collective care rooted in love, grounded in community.
That’s the focus of this course.
Meditate + Move is built for this.
It’s not about aesthetic rituals or self-optimization.
It’s about remembering you already belong in your own body.
It’s about reclaiming ancient ways of knowing—breath, movement, presence—as tools to get us through our real lives.
Over four weeks, we move through:
Coming Home to the Mind: Where thoughts are witnessed, not judged.
Coming Home to the Heart: Where emotions are allowed to just be.
Coming Home to the Breath & Body: Your sacred compass and sanctuary.
Coming Home to Wholeness: Where you weave it all into practice—your way, your rhythm, your terms.
This isn’t performative wellness. This is ancestral technology.
We begin on Wednesday, October 1st, and and there is an early bird rate until Monday, September 1st. The circle is intentionally small—space for just 10 participants to gather, share, breathe, and move in a held, intimate container.
If you’ve tried other modalities that helped for a season but something deeper is calling now...
If you’re ready to stop ignoring your body and start returning to it…
If you’re craving healing that centers the wisdom of femmes and women of the global majority…
Then this was created for you. And if you’re feeling the quiet “yes” in your chest…
You belong here. The circle is forming. We begin soon.
