About Be-L’evated & Our Core Beliefs:

Founded in 2017, Be-L;evated has incorporated a true holistic approach to both individual & community wellness. Expanding over the years to support the growing needs of our Global CommUNITY, BIPOC CommUNITY, Eco-CommUNITY & Historically Displaced Groups; venturing out to open a 1,100 Sq Ft physical location located at 222 Main St. Venice, Ca. A BIPOC, Woman Owned Wellness Center & Apothecary lovingly called “The Sanctuary” located in the historic area of Venice—Once called Oakwood a historical community & a prominent African-American subsection in Venice.

We believe in Holistic Healing Model: The ultimate goal of holistic healing is to step into your embodied wholeness. In order for us to truly achieve wholeness, we must look at all aspects of our lives—mind, body, emotions & spirit. In Holistic Healing, it works to approach life from all aspects of being---spiritual, emotional, mental & physical not just from the physical state “band-aid method” but from a Holistic view. Thus incorporating a more effective approach because change happens on every level of our being over the long-term thus improving one’s overall quality of life.

We are honored to offer a retail storefront & apothecary as well as a wellness/event center in this historic area a block from the beach. Our philosophy is to transform & elevate your Mind, Body & Spirit. Aligning both traditional & holistic modalities. 

Our Mission Forward:

We are expanding to launch the Be-L’evated Tea of Life Wellness Bar Spring 2023 as well as expand other offerings to serve as a community-centered gathering space for elevated wellness.

Over the past year, I have been able to self-fund the opening of Be-L’evated Holistic Wellness on 5/22/22 that has wellness offerings dedicated to providing affordable, safe & physical access to all. This has not been an easy nor smooth venture. I’ve experienced many obstacles that tried to deter me from this spirit led vision. But through the covering of our ancestors we are determined to provide a sacred space for our community & expand offerings that are in need. With this Expansion & the CommUNITY in mind, our funding priorities consist of the following initiatives… 

 Achieving $15,000 will allow for: 

* Installation and equipment for the Tea & Holistic Wellness Bar * Marketing & Media Cost 

* Cover Licensing, insurance Addition and Permits 

* Hire/Compensate 1-2 part-time wellness mixologist to support the running of the bar for 2-3 days out of the week 

* Purchase additional supplies and wellness equipment (mats, cushions, seating, etc…) *Cover 1 month of increased lease cost & overhead

Achieving $30,000 we can:

* Aside from covering the above priorities, we will be able to fund venue rental equipment and supplies for our clients

* Compensate for contracted Resident Videographer, Photographer and DJ for 2023

* Program the space with free wellness services for 4 months

* Compensate for event staff, PT Retail Staff and volunteers for special events

Achieving the full $44,444 we can:

* Fund Annual Scholarships for wellness retreats, services and training programs being offered by our resident and/or vetted network of spiritual, mental and holistic wellness practitioners/healers/providers

* Free quarterly CommUNITY centered wellness events that are led by our team of heart-centered, eco-conscious and soul tribe builders, leaders, investors who truly believe in the essence and power of indigenous rooted ways, earth centered consciousness, and nature aligned holistic wellness to bring harmony, healing and elevation to all.

* Pay a Stipend to our full-time Resident Holistic Practitioners, Mediums and Facilitators

In Addition to the above desired goals, we are offering sponsorship packages:

I am in complete gratitude and appreciation for being of service and support to the community over the past year. I have poured my heart and soul into funding and curating a space everyone feels welcomed, safe, seen, at peace and feeling at home—a space loving called the Sanctuary. The vision to expand has never been clearer; I am truly excited for this growth and for the expansion into the next level of community based offerings.
