Lilac & Indigo

A few moments from the pop-up relaxation room for , RefugeeConnect, an organization that serves the refugee community, with 80% of their staff being refugees themselves. With the BS going on in the White House and the uncertainty surrounding immigration, of course many refugees are facing heightened fear and anxiety.
There’s no breathing exercise or meditation I could lead that would make that weight disappear. But I did want to prepare a space that felt really special, tailored, and that allowed them to just rest - no masking, no assimilation needed - a space for emotional refuge.
✨I incorporated affirmations in their native languages for their DIY affirmation cards.
✨The zero-gravity chairs and weighted blankets provided a restful spot for naps.
✨I set up the DIY relaxation oil bar where they could create their own grounding oils (a reminder to pause and breathe when things get heavy),
✨watercolor mandalas.
