SELF-LOVE DAY 2018

Do you need more “me time”? Are you looking for a fun way to treat yourself this Vday? Join us Sunday, February 11, 2018 from 2-5pm for an afternoon of SELF-LOVE and VINO VINYASA (translation…wine and yoga!!).

Enjoy a relaxing afternoon at the tranquil and serene Roots Up Yoga Flow studio as we sip wine & do “gentle flow” yoga. We always make time to “share our stories” as we connect and heal, and feature a local business owner.

Lots of healing activities for your mind, body and spirit:

* Toast yourself (!) and have a “Self Love Libation”– your choice of Signature SISTERcircle Mimosa or healthy delicious smoothie.
* Participate in a guided yoga session with certified yoga instructor, and owner of Roots Up Yoga Flow, Debra Brooks.
*In the “Visual Love Corner”, paint peaceful healing art to take home with you, guided by gifted painter and muralist Kim Phillips; Learn to tie waist beads (the ultimate self-love gift that keeps on giving, 24/7/365), and get your own pair from the Motherland (!); while supplies last, visual art available for $10 per piece.
*Hear about our inaugural SISTERcircle Global Black Women’s Conference and community luncheon held November 2017 in GHANA; sign up to join the 2019 trip to Ghana.
*Enjoy positive vibes with positive people and love yo’ self!

TICKETS:
Presale – $15 Love Offering if purchased by Friday 2/9
Onsite – $20 Love Offering at the door

To live with DUELING IDENTITIES is to be an expert in code switching. We define code switching as the toning down, hiding, adjusting, or erasure of certain aspects of one’s personal identity in order to be accepted in different social settings. Code switching is very common. We often change how we behave or speak because what is deemed “appropriate” or “acceptable” often differs in our homes, communities, and the outside world. Frequent code switching commonly leads to feeling “not enough,” because we do not fully fit into the different spaces we often find ourselves in.

MOSAICS aims to answer the following questions: When do you engage in code switching? Who taught you how? And more importantly how does it make you feel?

A range of performing and visual artists will take us on their journey of code switching. Attendees will enjoy an hour-long performance, displayed art, engage in a Q&A session with participating artists, craft an item or two, and reflect on their own experience with code switching through interactive questions posted throughout the venue. This is a free-flowing event, children are welcomed, and seating is optional 🙂
