Hey NYC!
Join Faithfully Sustainable × Harlem Brain x WE ACT for Environmental Justice for Rooted in Motion, a one-of-a-kind, all-women’s outdoor Tai Chi experience at the Harlem Meer in Central Park.
Take a break from the rush of the city for intentional movement, mindfulness, nature, and community with the ancient mind-body practice of Tai Chi. We’ll move through gentle warm-ups and gentle strengthening exercises by Harlem Brain, breathing and meditation, followed by a moment to reflect, connect with one another and nature around us.
What's more, we are proudly sponsored by WE ACT for Environmental Justice. Based in Harlem for nearly four decades, WE ACT has been building healthier communities and advancing environmental and climate justice. Staff members will be joining us, making it a great opportunity to connect over climate action.
PLUS: when you attend, you'll get access to a limited selection of free clothing sponsored by Modify Thrift, a Black-owned, Muslim-owned thrift store in Harlem.
But wait... there's more!
When you attend in full, you become eligible to receive a refund* of your ticket. Yes, you read that right: participate in the class, then email us, and we will refund you. No questions asked.
Why? Because care about your wellness; if you're willing to show up for you, that's already a win for us. So, stay committed sisters and join us!
