ABOUT THE SERIES

curated by author reelaviolette botts-ward, this four part interactive series uses mourning my inner[blackgirl]child as a guide for holistic healing. we will explore inner[blackgirl]child healing through the five layers of self.o.lo.gy - body/ mind/ soul/ ancestry/ spirituality. each monthly gathering will focus on a different section of the book, through the lens of self.o.lo.gy, and will include

*brand new guided meditations for each section of the book,

*reading of book excerpts by the author,

*interactive creative workshop activities that support holistic healing,

*sister circle time for meeting and connecting with fellow Blackwomxn healing..

you do not have to have the book to come. you do not have to read the book to come. this is a space to dive into the themes of the book, and to be in sisterhood around them, regardless of where you are in your process. so,

for those of you who have read the book and want to dive into community around it - this is for you! for those of you who are brand new to inner child healing and have not had the chance to buy the book - this is for you, too! this is for all of us Black womxn invested in excavation, restoration and healing.

this series is designed to dig deep, as the book itself does. it is curated to provide you with additional tools to support yourself in your process of discovering and uncovering the complex layers of your truth.
