Care Sessions

Experience body of work as a space for collective rest and healing. Meet the artist, explore the gallery, sip herbal tea from Sankofa Anacaona Botanicals, and unwind with calming ear acupuncture* from a NADA certified local practitioner. Spend time in the Zine Nook and get creative with a hands-on art-making activity.

*Please note: RSVPing for this event does not sign you up for acupuncture. If you’d like to participate in a FREE auricular (ear) acupuncture session, you’ll need to sign up in person at the event—registration for acupuncture opens 30 minutes before sessions begin and spots are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Sessions take place in a communal setting with partial privacy and last 15–30 minutes. 

The acupuncture at this event is offered for general wellness and is not a substitute for medical care or advice.
