About this Event
SOFT LANDINGS IS A WELLNESS SPACE FOR AND BY THE ASIAN COMMUNITY. A PLACE TO GATHER, MOVE, BREATHE AND CONNECT.
Curated by Valerie Tiu.
Asians are still underrepresented in wellness spaces and as a community, face many nuanced experiences, both of marginalization and privilege. We come together to share our stories, cultural narratives, and explore the ways that we can show up as better allies in our community. ?
