World Mental Health Day - "Back to Me" Workshop

Back to Me is a 60-minute, healing-focused workshop designed for Black women to honour World Mental Health Day in a way that centres rest, reflection, and emotional expression. Hosted by the Thelma Matilda Alves Foundation, this workshop invites participants into a soft, affirming space where they can slow down, be witnessed, and reconnect with themselves—without pressure, performance, or judgment.

At its heart, Back to Me is a space to simply be. Through guided grounding practices, gentle journaling, and an open sharing circle, we offer room for participants to speak honestly about how they’ve been feeling—what they’ve been carrying, releasing, or reclaiming in their emotional lives. We centre the voices, needs, and inner worlds of Black women, acknowledging the everyday realities and pressures that often go unseen and unspoken.

This is not a workshop that asks you to fix or change yourself—it’s an invitation to return to you.

Whether you come to share, listen, or just take a breath, Back to Me is a reminder that your feelings are valid, your experiences matter, and you don’t have to hold everything alone.
