About this Event
Heart Space is a healing circle that provides a space for Black folks to decompress and connect. In this Heart Space we will delve into the dynamics of power literacy and discover strategies to de-stress during this divisive election season. This nurturing space aims to remind attendees of their inherent power and agency while providing tools to navigate the challenges of the election process.This session will be led by Shawn J. Moore and Vanessa Jackson.
Vanessa Jackson (she/her/hers) is a Soul Doula, writer, activist and social worker based in Atlanta. Her work focuses on power, social and economic liberation, African American psychiatric history and reclaiming traditional practices to support individual and community healing. Vanessa is the owner of Dudley’s Apothecary which offers healing sprays in the traditions of her root worker ancestors.
Shawn J. Moore (he/him/his)- Residing at the intersection of leadership and mindfulness, Shawn J. Moore creates sacred spaces for stillness and self-inquiry to help social impact leaders align their strengths, intentions, and impact. Through his integrative approach, he holds transformative containers for self-renewal, personal discovery, and capacity-building that ease clients on their journey towards peace, clarity, and freedom. Shawn is committed to empowering change-makers to become embodied leaders – unified in mind, body, and heart – with the tools to mindfully pause, reconnect to their inner knowing, make strengths-driven decisions, and lead the change they believe the world needs. Shawn has an intuitive way of weaving all that he has learned on his path to help those on the inner journey of discovery – including meditation, restorative yoga, sound healing, yoga nidra, and coaching.
