6th Annual


 

A free online retreat that nourishes the healing and liberation of Black women and women and femmes of color

 

WE’VE BEEN CELEBRATED BY…

Our theme this year:

Remembrance as Resistance 

Living in global racialized-gendered colonialist-capitalism has us forgetting our divinity.  We’ve been bamboozled into believing freedom lives outside of us and is connected to doing the most, acquiring more and working ourselves to death.

Yet, something deep within the well of our embodied wisdom knows this can’t be it.

The Global Healing Festival is an invitation to enter the dream space where our bodies are revolutionary portals and oracles for liberation and deep healing.

We’re bringing together visionary wisdom keepers as we gather communally to explore how we can cultivate true individual and collective freedom.

Through experiential offerings, we’ll lean into ways we can embody our freedom and remember the truth of who we are.

 

 

Who’s invited?

Our work centers Black women and femmes and women and femmes of color so, if you hold any of those identities please do join us! We also welcome folks of the global majority and allies who support our work.

Everyone is welcome to support our work so we can make Afro-Indigenous embodiment, somatics and wellness more accessible to our community. Thank you for your support!

Come, commune and celebrate with us. Let’s awaken to divine power and possibility.

 


Our Honored Guests

Sound Healing & Brainspotting with Kimberley Small, LCSW

ABOUT KIM

Kimberley Small is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Holistic Mental Health Therapist, Guest radio host, Educator, and Public Speaker. She is the founder and Clinical Director of Healing Insight Therapy and Wellness Collective, a group practice based in Florida. With a Bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience and Behavior from Columbia University and a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from Florida Atlantic University she specializes in using brain-based, body-based, and holistic approaches to trauma healing to support those who identify as wounded healers, helping professionals, BI&POC as well as First and Second Generation Americans.

As daughter to Jamaican parents, and a mother herself, she is deeply passionate about the need for culturally-relevant, intergenerational, and community healing practices. As such, outside of the therapy room, she regularly offers holistic wellness offerings and programming with the global Caribbean community in mind.

Ultimately, Kim believes we all deserve to discover and unlock the power of our unique stories: To learn them, to tell them, to have them witnessed, and to write our next chapters on our own terms.

Embodiment Practice with Natalee Facey

ABOUT NATALEE

Natalee Facey is a Resilience Coach, Birth Doula, and Embodiment Healing Practitioner. She works as a guide for women and femmes who are navigating loss related to pregnancy, relationships, and their bodies.

Natalee believes that loss can be an initiation into becoming a more powerful and authentic version of ourselves. She is with her clients through that initiation—supporting them in releasing grief, shame, guilt and other heavy emotions; reconnecting to their sense of wholeness; and moving into their personal rebirth.

Natalee is also the host of The Preparing for Pregnancy After Loss Podcast, which provides education and tools for thriving in life and pregnancy after loss or an infertility diagnosis. She’s been recognized by the Borough of Brooklyn for her work providing support to families who’ve experienced pregnancy and infant loss.

Natalee is originally from the island of Jamaica, where she credits her deep connection to nature, and her love for music, movement, and laughter as medicine.

About Embodied Black Girl

 

Embodied Black Girl stands for the embodied liberation and healing of Black women and femmes and communities of color globally. We’re devoted to creating spaces for our sisters and siblings across the diaspora where they’re seen, empowered and deeply held.

While many of our bodies and those of our ancestors have been sites for harm and violence, we also hold the knowledge that our bodies have the power to transform intergenerational trauma into intergenerational medicine. Our deepest intention is to provide mental, emotional and spiritual wellness that supports our individual collective healing and thriving while championing social change.

We believe healing is personal and political; spiritual and corporeal. Our offerings weave together a mosaic of modalities all somatically rooted, trauma informed and grounded in a decolonial lens. We’re here for radical healing to weave the new world from the inside out because the revolution is embodied.
