Presenters of the Well- being Fair

We covered many topics that often corresponded to the theme of the month.

Our goal was to inspire thoughtful conversation and to review timely, everyday life topics. We challenged our habit ways of thinking in order to take meaningful actions.

As we see it, this is a form of Yoga practice. By coming together as a community and being open to mindful conversation, we can update our stories.  Each talk aimed to raise the vibration within us and help us be the agents for change we wish to see.

We were primarily a BIPOC and often LGBTQ represented group with a mission to raise our voices in our communities.

It was an inspiring year of Empowering the Movers of Human Kindness! Thanks for being a huge part of our mission.

Thanks to everyone that joined for our 2022 EmpowerHours! We look forward to joining you again for our future community discussions!  Get ready to dive deep into conversations in 2023.  Dates will be shared soon so you can schedule these on your calendar!

Big thank yous to Anjali Rachel Porraspita and Vatasha Poindexter for contributing to the content and preparation for each EmpowerHour!  Here’s to a new year ahead!!!
