Breathwork & Black Women Narratives is a 7-week healing program created by Black Women Rest to support Black women in navigating chronic stress, reclaiming rest, and deepening self-awareness through community-centered care. Grounded in Black Girls Breathing: Heal from Trauma, Combat Chronic Stress, and Find Your Freedom by Jasmine Marie, the program weaves together breathwork, therapeutic conversation, journaling, and reflection to help participants explore themes of healing, ancestry, liberation, and self-definition in a safe and intentional space.

Each week, participants are guided by a different therapist, wellness practitioner, or subject-matter expert who offers clinical insight, lived experience, and compassionate support. The program is designed to bridge holistic wellness and mental health, making healing practices accessible, culturally responsive, and rooted in the real experiences of Black women.

Supporting this program with a $50 donation directly sustains the care and integrity of the experience. Your contribution helps provide facilitator honorariums, ensuring that therapists and wellness practitioners are fairly compensated for their expertise and time. It also supports the purchase of books for participants who need assistance accessing Black Girls Breathing, as well as the creation of guided resources such as digital workbooks, reflection prompts, and tools that participants can continue using beyond the series.

As a nonprofit initiative, Black Women Rest relies on community support to offer healing spaces that are both high-quality and accessible. A $50 donation is an investment in collective wellness, emotional healing, and the long-term sustainability of programs that prioritize the rest and wellbeing of Black women.
