Next Book Club Selection: This Here Flesh by Cole Arthur Riley
What does it mean to be human in a world that demands we forget our sacredness? In This Here Flesh, Cole Arthur Riley—writer, storyteller, and creator of Black Liturgies—weaves stories of pain, delight, memory, and liberation into a powerful meditation on embodiment, dignity, and belonging.
With poetic depth and spiritual clarity, Riley invites us to slow down and listen—to ourselves, to our ancestors, and to the quiet truths we’ve long buried. Join us next month as we explore this soulful, tender, and transformative work together.

Health & Harmony Book Club
Join us for a discussion about African American Herbalism: A Practical Guide to Healing Plants and Folk Traditions by Lucretia VanDyke! This beautiful book weaves together history, personal stories, traditional herbal practices, and practical recipes. VanDyke honors the deep legacy of African American healers, rootworkers, and herbalists, showing how these traditions were carried through slavery, emancipation, and into modern times. She also gives lots of guidance on different herbs, remedies, and rituals, blending the spiritual and physical aspects of healing written in an accessible, heart-centered way.
For this special June event, you’re invited to bring and share the healing foods and remedies she talks about to honor the community, tradition, and hands-on connection of the book. Simply pick a favorite herb or recipe from the book to "present" during the potluck/show & tell with a little story about why you chose it or what it means to you.
We can’t wait to spend time with you in this ceremonial and joyful event!

The Ritual Room
Creating Meditation Beads
Prayer beads have been used for thousands of years as tools for meditation, reflection, prayer, and intention-setting. Different cultures and faiths—from African spiritual traditions to Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism—have each developed their own forms of prayer beads, using them to help guide repetitive prayers, mantras, or affirmations.
In African and diasporic traditions, beads themselves have long held sacred meaning, representing protection, connection to ancestors, rites of passage, and spiritual power. Whether worn, carried, or used in ritual, beads tell stories of identity, resilience, and devotion.
This month, we’re honoring that history by creating our own prayer beads (not tied to any one tradition) guided by the spirit of connection, intention, and care. Each bead you choose can represent a hope, a prayer, an affirmation, or a blessing for yourself or your community.
This is a chance to create something sacred with your hands, your heart, and your spirit.
Cost: $30

Health & Harmony Book Club
This month, we’ll discuss "Return to Source: Unlock the Power of African-Centered Wellness" by Araba Ofori-Acquah. Published on April 4, 2023, this book serves as an empowering guide to discover pathways to healing, self-love, and transformation. Ofori-Acquah, a Ghanaian-British healer, DJ, cultural curator, and award-winning writer, draws upon African traditions to offer a holistic approach to wellness. The book emphasizes three core elements: music and movement, Mother Earth, and magick, providing readers with practical tools and rituals to integrate these aspects into their daily lives. By demystifying and challenging misconceptions about African spiritual practices, "Return to Source" encourages readers to embark on a journey back to their roots, fostering personal and communal growth.
