Beyond the Bags: Junk Bag Edition
Saturday, October 17, 2026 | 1:00 PM
It’s time to turn the “junk” we carry into something fabulous. 👜✨
Join The Shades of Wellness, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, for Beyond the Bags: Junk Bag Edition—a creative, intentional afternoon centered on self-expression, mental wellness, and community.
During this hands-on experience, you’ll create your own custom denim junk bag, personalize it with fun bag patches, and participate in a therapist-led discussion that creates space for honest conversations about mental wellness, the things we carry, and the importance of making room for ourselves.
Your Registration Includes:
✨ A mental health provider led mental wellness discussion
✨ Your own custom denim junk bag
✨ Bag patches to personalize your creation
✨ An afternoon of creativity, connection, laughter, and sisterhood
Your registration donation supports more than your experience. Every contribution helps The Shades of Wellness provide accessible wellness experiences, community programming, and mental health-focused initiatives for women of color throughout the DMV.
Spots are limited, so register today and reserve your place at this meaningful and creative experience. Come ready to create, connect, and leave with a bag that’s uniquely yours. Because
sometimes, what we’re ready to throw away just needs a little reimagining.
