THE MEANING

hava begins with breath.

It is kin to life: to live, to breathe, the living one.

Before the table, before the music, before the gathering, a woman returns to herself by breath.

be in good company

There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself. Howard Thurman

breathe.be•hold.begin

A place for Black women to breathe, be•hold what is still theirs, and begin again lighter than they came.

The first gatherings are being shaped now. The infrastructure is coming.

Founders day retreat

The first table was set by hand.

The first retreat brought generations of women together for sunrise yoga, a long table, live music, sister circle, and sound.

Photos and reflections are being gathered now. If you were with us, your words will help shape what comes next.

What comes next is taking shape.

A quieter rhythm between retreats: breath, conversation, music, and time that does not ask you to perform.
