Hosted by Night Cap Radio
What to bring: Journal, Writing Mediums, Essential Oils, Crystals, Things that ground you and help you feel closer to peace <3
Restful Rituals: Breathwork for Black Girls & Femmes is a communal breathwork experience rooted in rest, reclamation, and release. This gathering is an invitation to exhale and to return to your body as a sanctuary.
Guided through grounding pranayama, somatic awareness, and vocal liberation, participants are supported in releasing tension, recalibrating the nervous system, and connecting through community based care. This is a space of remembrance, where the breath becomes both medicine and movement.
This practice will offer space for communal pranayama (breathwork) and space for story telling through talking prompts, poetry or short essays. Come to hold space by listening or take space by sharing.

Restful Rituals is a curated series of community experiences that center rest, connection, and creative expression. Each gathering offers a different way to slow down and reconnect — from cozy reading nights and collective breathwork to restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra, and immersive wellness activations.
Rooted in accessibility and sensory care, Restful Rituals invites participants to experience rest as both personal and communal — a return to the body, to presence, and to one another. Every event is designed to meet the season and the needs of the moment, offering spaces that feel restorative, inclusive, and deeply human.
