This month’s Honey BALM will be facilitated by Ayurvedic practitioner and community member, nisha ahuja. nisha’s practice is dedicated to dissolving the boundaries between traditional medicines, ceremony, spirituality, art, and social equity, as fundamental to our collective liberation. In this Honey Balm session, which will start with a potluck to open the space, nisha will facilitate a discussion around Healing Justice principles. To close, they will guide us into a gentle and beautiful restorative practice rooted in Ayurveda— rose oil hand massage that stimulates marma points. 

Heartbroken and burnt-out from community care work?
Tired of being the only Healing Arts practitioner who talks about justice?
Feeling angry and drained by spiritual bypassing in the wellness industry?

You are not alone. Camellia Dao-Ling says, "Our communities need healers, and healers need community." Join Jeanne Ann Heo and Camellia Lee in co-creating a mutual support network of Healing Justice practitioners. Nourishing our connections through in-person gatherings at Sovern, we'll share medicine with each other through service exchanges and skill-trades. As we deepen our relationships through gatherings in alignment with the seasons, we honor the cadence of ritual time. This drop-in, potluck, emergent collective is inspired by the honeybee and the acronym BALM: Belonging, Access, Listening, Medicine. We invite you to practice the reLOVEutionary care work of community-building in the spirit of those who went before us.

We resource ourselves so that we can show up for our communities sustainably and long-term.
