About this Event

ABOUT THIS EVENT

HELD is a sacred, one-day Black maternal health and healing immersion created for Black women who carry life, caregiving, leadership, and responsibility—and are rarely held themselves.

Rooted in collective care, embodied healing, and ancestral wisdom, HELD is designed as a soul-centered container, not a performance-based event.

This immersion honors the body as a site of memory and medicine. Through ceremony, reflection, education, and restorative practices, participants are invited to slow down, soften, and reconnect with themselves and one another.

This is not a space to perform strength.
This is a space to be held.

Attendance is intentionally limited to preserve care, safety, and depth.


WHO SHOULD ATTEND

HELD is for Black women who are:

  • Mothers, birthgivers, and caregivers
  • Birthworkers and maternal health professionals
  • Clinicians, wellness practitioners, and advocates
  • Women holding grief, transition, or quiet exhaustion

You do not need credentials to belong here.
You do not need to be “okay” to attend.


IMPORTANT NOTES
  • Sharing is always optional and consent-based
  • This is an in-person immersion (not recorded)
  • All registrations are final
  • Registrations may be transferred with advance notice
