Spring Settling Yoga Gathering
Settling into Spring is a way to check in with your energy during the season and revisit intentions that were seeded while nurturing what you've grown into. This event is a time to reflect on what has taken hold since the Equinox and what excites you about what's to come!
Za’atar Man’eesh Workshop
Palestinians have long been criminalized for foraging from their own land. Za’atar; an ancestral blend of wild thyme, sesame seeds, sumac, and salt—is more than a spice; it is memory, resistance, and connection to the Land.
For generations, Palestinians have faced fines, surveillance, and even arrest for harvesting native plants like wild za’atar and ‘akkoub. These practices that were once simple acts of sustenance and tradition.
This workshop is more than cooking. Manaeesh is a flat bread with Za’atar spices.
Together, we will prepare za’atar man’eesh while also reflecting on the parts of ourselves that have been labeled, restricted, criminalized or pushed into hiding. Through this process, we’ll begin to unlearn shame and reconnect with what was never meant to be taken from us.
By the end of our time together, you’ll leave not only with something nourishing to eat, but with a deeper understanding of the parts of you that were always worthy and never deserving of ridicule, silence, or erasure.

SPRING BLOOM: A Somatic Sound Healing Journey into Feminine Sensuality
As the earth softens and the first blooms begin to open, we invite you to do the same.
SPRING BLOOM is a two-hour ceremonial gathering for BIPOC women. A tender, intentional container to return to your body, awaken your senses, and remember the quiet power of your own feminine nature.
Held in the sacred container of Rooh Sanctuary and timed with the spirit of Nowruz, the Persian New Year and ancient celebration of spring's renewal, this experience is an invitation to shed what winter carried and step into a new season of yourself.
A note on attire: We invite you to dress softly, intentionally, and whatever makes you feel the most feminine…think flowing fabrics, gentle colors, and anything that makes you feel at home in your body. Come as if you’re dressing for a ceremony, because you are.
-
You'll be guided through an intimate workshop on feminine sensuality and embodiment led by Dr. Nahreen Aref, sex therapist, followed by a deeply restorative sound healing journey with Sahar Farooqui, where crystal bowls, healing frequencies, and the warmth of community will hold you as you soften, release, and bloom. The sound healing session will also include Reiki healing provided by Nahreen to help you feel supported.
This is a space where your body is honored, where your pleasure is not shameful, and where your sensuality is sacred.
Refreshments will be provided.
