the inner[blackgirl]child healing circle

the inner[blackgirl]child workshop, inspired by reelaviolette botts-ward's first book, mourning my inner[blackgirl]child, is an intimate sister circle gathering that combines poetic performance, creative mirror work and journaling practice to invite Black womxn deeper into spiritual restoration through inner child healing. In this workshop, reelaviolette shares poetic reflections on her own journey to rediscovering her Black girlhood as a sacred space of rememory and reclamation.  She then uses multimedia sensory experience, meditative praxis, and creativity to invite participants deeper into their own inner child healing practice. Participants will create love offerings to and from their inner[blackgirl]child, connect with other blackwomxnhealing, and find new tools for revival within their own lives.
