Winter Wellness

Winter Wellness

We’re back at it! That’s right, we’re kicking 2026 off with our second annual Winter Wellness event. This year we’re partnering with Evanston’s first-ever Black, feminist bookstore: Zora’s Place; The AUX Wellness Collective: a space designed to inspire, heal and empower people on their journey to sustainable wellness; and Sokana Collective: a nonprofit committed to birth justice and equity. Together, we’re curating a much-needed morning of community and care. ⁠

Folks will be able to rotate through a variety of options—including yoga and meditation, art therapy and creative outlets, and chair massages. We’ll have food from Chicky’s Kitchen Creations and folks will have a chance to peruse the shelves of Zora’s Place.

All dollars raised by this event will support Women Unite!, Zora's Place, The AUX Wellness Collective, and Sokana Collective.
