SUMMARY:Ministry of Black Women’s Self Care\, with Kim Gaubault - June 2026
DESCRIPTION:Kim Gaubault recognizes that self-care is often the component that remains a form of intervention (after the break or the medical emergency) rather than a preventative measure. When we allow our bodies\, minds and/or spirits to break down in the course of doing this work\, we are not only putting ourselves at risk but we are putting at risk the integrity of the work for which we are laboring. This work is a work of self-love\, communal love\, Womanist Ethicism\, it is multi-generational\, multicultural and is not finite\, but is instead as infinite as the beauty in the divinity that is Blackness. Come and share in this life’s work! This program is specifically designed to offer practical tools for everyday self-care to Black women-identified individuals doing all forms of ministry\, in church and community. \nJune: Braving the Storm: Grieving People Who Are Still Alive \nRegister for JUNE below. \nLeader: Kimberly Gaubault (McCrae) is an intentional lover of humanity and actively lives the self-care life about which she teaches and advocates. Her personal philosophy of interpersonal interaction is\, “If I’ve not positively influenced someone everywhere I’ve gone\, I’ve not walked in my purpose.” \nCost: $10\, $25\, or $40 per session. Choose the price that fits your budget.

SUMMARY:Mindful Writing for Transformation (4-Week) Online Workshop
DESCRIPTION:There are stories inside you that want to be told. Not perfected\, simply heard. \nMindful writing is less about craft and more about presence. It’s a practice of slowing down\, turning inward\, and allowing whatever wants to be expressed to move through you and onto the page. No forcing anything. No inner critic in charge. \nIn this four-week workshop\, we create the conditions for stories to arrive naturally — through mindfulness practices and gentle\, guided writing activities designed to quiet the mind and open the heart. When we stop trying to write and simply listen\, something shifts. Words come. Truth surfaces. The page becomes a place of refuge and revelation where we bear witness to our own stories with kindness and acceptance. \nWriting in this way has a remarkable capacity to bring order to inner chaos\, restore a sense of wholeness\, and reconnect us with our own inner wisdom — the part of us that already knows. \nNo writing experience is necessary. This is a space for anyone who feels called to listen more deeply to their own story. \nBring a journal and a pen. Come exactly as you are. \nLed by Jen Johnson\, mindfulness teacher\, therapist\, photographer\, and writer. Jen brings an integrative approach to mind-body healing and creative awakening. Her writing has appeared in book chapters\, a poetry anthology\, magazines\, literary journals\, and professional training manuals. More about Jen here.  \nDate & Times: Thursdays\, July 9\, 16\, 23\, and 30 from 12:00- 1:30 PM \nCost: $125-175\, sliding scale \nRegister below. Registrants will be sent a Zoom link in the automated ticket confirmation.
