I’ve always wanted to merge my intuitive practices with my art. And I never knew how that would make ‘sense’… [now] I know it doesn’t have to. To be innovative is to create something people need. I didn’t have to reinvent the wheel. I just had to make it my own. ~TJY

I would describe the impact of the [WWILH] retreats as restorative. Spiritually, emotionally, energetically, and mentally they felt like re-births. Each time expanding my imagination of what freedom looks, feels, and tastes like. ~Bianca Mitchell

The program helped me understand the intersection and necessity of spirituality within activist spaces. Getting out of our own way and allowing source to show itself and be used as needed. Allowing us to access our ancestors and nature as resources to support social Justice with safe, healing spaces. ~Nia Kilimanjaro

There is a strength, elasticity, and brightness that has come from this process, and I am also still in transition and this process has helped me better embrace both of those truths. ~Alexis Yeboah-Kodie
