Join us for a sacred gathering held in a private home near Morgan State University in Baltimore City, as we reconnect to the lineages of freedom and resilience that live within and around us. This is a space to remember our wholeness and root ourselves more deeply in the path of collective liberation.

Facilitated by Charlotte Duerr James, teacher and medicine woman; Gabrielle Williams, teacher, medicine woman, and holistic healer; and Hamilton Garces, medicine man and ceremonial sound guide—this evening weaves ritual, embodiment, and ancestral practices to support your continued becoming.

Our time together will include:

Opening Circle + Intention Weaving
We’ll begin by grounding in the space, tending to our nervous systems, and naming our intentions as individuals and a collective. This invocation honors both the seen and unseen forces that guide our healing and liberation.

Sacred Rapeh Ritual
At twilight, we will share in a ceremonial experience with Rapeh, a sacred Amazonian tobacco snuff traditionally used to cleanse the mind, clear energetic blockages, and open the heart. Offered in reverence, this medicine invites clarity, release, and grounding. (Note: Rapeh is legal and non-psychoactive.)

Dance as Prayer
As night settles, we’ll enter into a communal movement ritual guided by sound and rhythm. This is not performance—this is prayer through the body. Let the drumbeat, your breath, and the wisdom of your body move you into harmony with the energies of this sacred transition.

Closing Community Circle
We will close in circle, integrating the evening through gratitude, reflection, and the sealing of intentions. What we cultivate in community becomes part of the larger field of healing and liberation beyond this gathering.
