Self Care + Healing 101

Sometimes, we get so caught up with work and activism that we forget to listen to the stress signs from our bodies. This is particularly true for those of us who are Black, Indegenous, People of Color, Queer, and First Generation. And yet so many of us are desperately looking for ways to care for ourselves and heal. Prentis Hemphill, a movement facilitator and coach, will help you develop a somatic practice and teach you how to better identify signs of burnout and stress.
