SAVE THE DATE | COMMUNITY WELLNESS DAY 🌿

Community is something we exist in every day. We live in it, experience it, and depend on it, but we don’t always take the time to celebrate and appreciate it in the ways it deserves.

Community Wellness Day is about taking that time. A day to appreciate, immerse yourself in, and experience your community, because community is wellness.

On October 24, The Collective for Community Wellness is bringing together local organizations, businesses, creatives, and wellness practitioners for a day rooted in connection, community, and collective wellness.

Wellness isn’t only something we practice individually. It’s gathering. It’s laughing. It’s learning. It’s movement. It’s sharing resources. It’s experiencing life alongside the people around us.

Throughout the day, experience yoga, dance, kayaking, breathwork, an open mic, youth and adult activities, community resources, and more.

[ORGANIZATION NAME] is proud to be part of The Collective for Community Wellness alongside:

Moy Bien | Herbal Blends & CommuniTea Planned Parenthood SEPA 400 Shades of Beauty LLC Tess Melody Market The Discovery Center Aurea | Evolving Diarie | Life Design

Over the coming weeks, we’ll introduce the organizations behind Community Wellness Day and share more about what you can expect.

Stay connected. There’s more to come.

As a child, this was the image of Africa that stayed in my heart. Whenever I saw a picture like it, I felt like I was being called home. This month of July marks 10 years of me living and working in Africa. It has been a journey filled with joy and sadness, but I have never regretted my decision. Sierra Leone truly has become home. I have met some of the most amazing people who have helped me, loved me and made me feel like at home. I am living my dreams!

I am so blessed to have my grandmom at 93 years old still smiling and loving me! If you see me give, show compassion, explore the world, love people and believe I can do anyting with God's help it is because she showed my all of it in the way she lives!!
