community garden

a shared space to tend to our healing + joy

Community Garden is an engaging 6-week transformative process group that offers a space for Black women to experience nurture and care, and learn tools to support them in experiencing more softness, ease, and embodied rest. Using the language of armor, we will explore both what gets in the way of our thriving and the practices that can help us reconnect to ourselves in sustainable and practical ways.

In a harsh and exhausting world, Community Garden is an oasis where Black women can seed, nurture, and grow the practices that support our access to pleasure, joy, ease, care, and liberation regardless of what the external world says about our worth and value. This space exists because healing happens in community and because learning how to tend to our interior gardens is a beautiful act of love and resistance.

community garden is for you if:

  • You feel a deep sense of exhaustion and weariness

  • You want a space where you don’t have to be strong or have it all together, a space where you can take the masks off

  • You want practical tools to use in your daily life that help you access more embodied joy, ease, and freedom

  • You want a deeper sense of community and care

  • At Ease has made me feel more human deserving a full life of ease, rest, being cared for, listened to and comforted. That I am not what I do.

    The cohort has taught me that I don’t have to live life in a constant state of crisis and trauma. I don’t have to lead the fight for every ill in society. I don’t have to have to speak for all Black voices. I can pause. I can rest. I can listen to my needs and I can attend to my needs.

    This is what Black Liberation can look like in the not yet, in the now.

  • The content was fabulous, the structure was just *chef's kiss* and each week felt connected to other weeks but also different. Chichi's facilitation was excellent and thoughtful and generous. I appreciated that she held space where she thought appropriate but also pushed people to think deeper and harder about things too. I learned so much, in community with other women, and couldn't be happier that I joined. 20/10 highly recommend!

  • At Ease was an amazing experience. It felt cathartic for me and other Black women to be seen and cherished as we grew and learned together. Chichi was a great facilitator in both the group meetings and the one-on-one sessions. Her framework of the Enneagram as armor helped me truly identify myself after years of mistyping.

  • I absolutely loved my experience of At Ease. The space that Chichi created for women of color to be vulnerable, to lean into softness and ease was something special. Chichi offered much insight through thoughtful questioning and gentle challenging of the assumptions that we bring to the discussion. The other women also offered encouragement and support and hearing from their experiences helped to give insight into my own.

    There is nothing like being a part of a group that is courageously facing themselves and leaning into ease. I'm grateful for the experience.

  • At Ease has been one of the most life-changing experiences of my adult life. Chichi is a skilled teacher, facilitator, and guide. She makes the dissemination of the material not only timely but accessible. I am several weeks out of the program now and am still actively aware of how the skills I gained are embodied and becoming more embodied in who I am. It’s what I most desired as I began reading her book. I’m so grateful to her for providing this space for us. ♥️

  • At Ease was a game changing experience for me. I loved being with women who look like me and understand my experiences. Chichi has a way of getting to people’s core and that is where the change comes through. This was a fantastic experience.
