This Saturday, meet us at The Rest, a free community event presented by Assata's House (). Designed to honor and support Black mothers, Black, Indigenous, and people of color femmes, caregivers, and service providers, this event offers a dedicated space for rest, rejuvenation, and self-care, acknowledging the unique challenges faced by those who provide care and support to others. Through restorative healing practices and a supportive community environment, we aim to empower attendees with tools for personal wellness and connection.

What to Expect: Enjoy healing practices such as massage, reiki, acupuncture, and a group Reiki teach-in to explore energy healing techniques you can use at home. Cozy up in our quiet rest spaces, bring a book, your favorite sweatshirt, or something to write with, and connect with others. A family-friendly zone will be available to create an inclusive environment where caregivers and families can participate together, ensuring all feel welcome and supported.

This event is organized by Assata's House, an independent initiative led by curator Raylá White-Spraggins, and is co-sponsored by PFP and Black Lives Matter Philly.
