The Living Waters Collective is a two-year relational repair circle rooted in Durham, North Carolina, created to restore care, rest, and material support to Black women who have long carried the spiritual, emotional, and relational labor of our communities.

.Our monthly gatherings are sacred spaces of prayer, storytelling, embodied healing, pilgrimage, rest, and shared meals designed to slow the pace, tend the body and spirit, and practice repair not as theory, but as lived relationship.

These gatherings require resources: nourishing food, healing practitioners, artmaking materials, travel, childcare, bodywork, and spaces that allow for true rest and reverence.

This donation page is an invitation for community members who are not participating directly in the circle to walk alongside this work as witnesses and supporters. Your contribution helps cover the costs of our monthly gatherings and creates the conditions for repair to take root and flourish. Women who participate directly in the circle do not use this page; their financial commitments are made through a separate, relational process grounded in discernment and covenant.

Giving here is an act of communal care. It is a way to say: this work matters; Black women’s wellbeing matters; repair is something we hold together. Your generosity, one-time or monthly, helps make visible a different way of being in community, where love and material support flow together toward healing and shared thriving.
