Part of our ongoing commitment to creating community-centred gatherings, that are specifically curated to encourage connection, safer self-expression and informal engagement in radical thought, we have created:
 

- Black Mind Blooms -

Our subsidised pilot season of Wellbeing Workshops and Open Space sessions. Currently all of the #BlackMindBlooms events have taken place online but, as we grow, so will they.



Our motivation is to continuously centre the empowerment and healing of Black people in Britain by:


- Facilitating Leave Trips (off-site) and culturally informed creative sessions for Black psychiatric

in-patients and outpatients.

- Curating more Wellbeing Workshops that are led by outpatients, previous inpatients, carers, consultants, healers, mental health advocates and creatives

- Holding Open Spaces that centre topics & themes that are important to our community

Soon Come

We're looking to curate more Wellbeing Workshops & Open Space events for our community.

If you have any thoughts of event you'd like to attend - drop us a line.

Watch this space! 
Been & Gone...

Not only did we run workshops on Using Astrology To Bring You Back To Wholeness with Sade the Astrology Vixen, a Help Is At Hand session for parents with Chioma Fanawopo and a Finding The Light writing workshop for Black men with Jeremiah 'Sugar J' Brown, we also had a:

Wellbeing Workshop with Birungi Kawooya 

A 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘁 wellbeing workshop with @BirungiArt, in which we saw our facilitator courageously hosting her first digital session!⁣

An absolutely magical session - It was special to connect with our community and creatively express ourselves in a space together at such an early stage in our growth.⁣

Open Space session with Guilaine Kinouani 

A powerful 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 session with our very first guest artist, 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲, author of Living While Black.⁣

In a community gathering that explored ancestral wisdom and racial trauma, Guilaine also shared her immense knowledge and expertise with us, while we shared ways to not only live but thrive while Black! ⁣

We are excited about more collaborations with Black psychologists, psychotherapists, counsellors and healers - to start a conversation, drop us a line at hello@BlackMind.co.uk
