LOVED is a survivor self-care circle specifically held for black women. During LOVED, we address “triple jeopardy”; the exploitation and oppression experienced by survivors who are black women.

Through engaging in creative activities, we cultivate self-love, sustained acceptance and affirmation, beloved community, and strategies to address the root causes of violence. Sessions feature the use of expressive-arts techniques, guided discussions, seminars, and guest speakers.

Each session is held from 10:00AM-12:00PM. In-person session dates are noted below.
