GROUNDED: A Men's Wellness Experience
Rest is not weakness. It is resistance. A half-day wellness experience for Black men: yoga, sound bath, meditation + fireside chat.
GROUNDED A Men's Wellness Experience
You have been carrying a lot. This is your invitation to set it down.
GROUNDED is a curated half-day wellness experience designed specifically for Black men who are ready to breathe, be still, and be poured into. Hosted in the intimate and elevated space of The Mark DC, this Men's Mental Health Awareness Month gathering is built around one simple truth: rest is not a sign of weakness. It is resistance.
Move through a grounding yoga session designed to reconnect you to your body, led by trauma-informed Wellness Architect YogiTB, surrender into a sound bath and somatic healing experience with the incomparable Tara Aura, which gives your nervous system permission to release, then gather for an honest fireside chat where real men hold real conversation about mental health, community, and what it means to thrive.
No performance. No pressure. Just presence.
What to expect:
Yoga flow led by trauma-informed Wellness Architect YogiTB
Sound bath and guided meditation
Chair Massage & Stretch Therapy Demos throughout the day
Fireside chat on men's mental health and community
Light refreshments throughout
🎟️ Each ticket includes a complimentary specialty drink and a raffle entry to win throughout the experience.
This is not a lecture. This is not a seminar. This is a room full of men choosing themselves.

ARRIVAL + CHECK IN 10:30AM | Doors Open
Come as you are. From the moment you walk through the door, this space is yours. Check in at the welcome table, grab a complimentary specialty drink, and settle in at your own pace. This is not a rush. This is the beginning of your exhale. Take a moment to breathe, connect with the brothers in the room, and allow yourself to arrive fully before the experience begins. The mat is ready. The room is holding you. You just have to show up.

Unwind & Release Flow w/ YogiTB
This is not your typical yoga class. This session is designed specifically for men, meeting you exactly where you are in your body. Through intentional breath and grounding movement, you will begin to release what you have been holding and reconnect with yourself from the inside out. No experience necessary. Just show up.

Sound Bath & Somatic Release w/ Tara Aura
Lie back and let the sound do the work. Through the resonance of healing instruments, this immersive experience invites your body into a deep state of rest and restoration. Many men describe this as the first time they have truly felt still in years.
