Beloved Family, today is Giving Tuesday, and I’m asking for your support as we continue building sacred, creative, and healing spaces for our community. 💚💙

Bese Saka Healing Arts Spiral is rooted in project-based learning, cultural immersion, and holistic wellness. This year alone, we’ve offered:

🌿 Healing arts workshops — sound, movement, meditation, herbal remedies
🎨 Creative youth programs — science fair projects, family history activities, art & culture exploration
🪘 Cultural arts events — African dance classes, marketplace events, ancestor celebrations
👣 Community rituals & gatherings — honoring lineage, storytelling, and collective healing
📚 Educational support & consulting — homeschool partnerships, youth development, elder wellness sessions

Every donation helps us sustain and expand these offerings — covering supplies, paying artists and educators, supporting youth, and keeping our community programming accessible to all.

If our work has touched you or inspired you, I invite you to give what you can today. Your contribution is deeply meaningful and keeps the Spiral moving.

Asante sana for supporting our mission and our community.
💚💙

Grateful to have facilitated a Climate Action Conversation with NextGen this weekend — connecting heart, culture, and the Earth. 💚
Community dialogue is healing work, too. I’d love to bring this kind of circle to more spaces — schools, wellness events, or staff retreats.
