JULY Reparations Black Wellness Clinic

In light of recent events and the ancestral traumas of black communities, metaDEN will continue the work of the Earth Arts Center for Environ(mental) Wellness, by hosting the Reparations Black Wellness Clinic. This will be offered on the LAST SATURDAY of EVERY MONTH from 2 - 6 PM ET.

In this clinic, black healers will be providing a variety of healing modalities to black individuals for FREE. To ensure these care takers are supported in mending the traumas of our community, we are raising funds to guarantee that their work is compensated and the clinic keeps it’s doors open (virtually).

This is an opportunity for allies to step up and support the healing of our black communities, directly.

All funds raised between July 1st - July 31st will be split up between this month's practitioners and organizers of the clinic. Please consider donating monthly to help sustain black healers beyond Black History Month. 

Thank you to all that donated last month!!! Our goal is to raise $1,500 for this month's clinic so that we can pay each healer and the organizing team at least $200 (after taxes + fees).

In the words of - Veronica Agard @verosgotthejuice, writer, educator and creator of Who Heals the Healer and Ancestors in Training series, "We cannot limit ourselves to one method of surviving a White Supremacist system that has multiple methods of harming or ending our existence. If we can be expansive and reclaim our methods of survival, then we can eventually thrive. We understand that reparations were not given to the vast majority of those descended from enslaved Africans across the Black Atlantic.

We feel the pains of our people wherever they are and an indescribable longing for a moment in space and time that allows us to be there for them. We believe in the resilience of our Blackness but name the dangers in being labeled as magical or superhuman, when it is weaponized and embodied literally, when our bodies express intergenerational suffering as health conditions. A path towards reparations that we can experience with all of our senses has appeared in this series. In offering these intentions, I invoke hope as a discipline as spelled by abolitionist Mariame Kaba. With that invitation comes the love and trust to do the work collectively in service of, and investing in, the wellness of the souls of Black folks."
