Your Mind is Your First Home – How Do You Care for It?

Join us for a special edition of Heal With Black: CommuniTEA Salon, where we turn inward to explore one of the most vital spaces we inhabit—our minds. In a world filled with noise and uncertainty, how do we cultivate peace within? How do we protect, nurture, and restore our mental well-being as a foundation for a healing home, family, and community?

This immersive gathering blends meditation, tea, art, and conversation to create a space for deep reflection and collective wisdom. We begin with a guided meditation to quiet the mind and invite stillness, followed by a soothing tea ceremony to center the body. Through thoughtful discussion, we will explore how peace of mind is essential to building a thriving home and a strong community.

Inspired by the salons of the Harlem Renaissance, the Combahee River Collective, The Colored Conventions, and the legacy of Black organizing spaces using the home as a place for transformation, this salon is a modern gathering rooted in history, wellness, and empowerment. Together, we will listen, share, and co-create a vision for a more mindful and peaceful future.

This event is made possible by the Andy Warhol Foundation Wherewithal Grant, Washington Area Community Fund, The Family Arts Museum, and MĀK Apothecary.
