Your voice is a portal. Are you ready to open it?
Sound is one of the oldest forms of healing — and your own voice is the most powerful instrument you have. In this heart-centered gathering, we'll use guided vocal activation, breath, and communal sound to help you move energy, dissolve what's been blocked, and reconnect to the truth of who you are.
This is a space for those who know that healing happens in community — where the collective field amplifies everything, and showing up authentically is the practice itself.

Awaken the frequency of your authentic voice
Drop into deeper presence — with yourself and those around you
No vocal training needed. Only your willingness to be heard, held, and transformed.
Come ready to open. Leave feeling more rooted in yourself than when you arrived.
Explore Afro-diasporic mask traditions while learning introductory clay handbuilding techniques to create their your expressive masks!Masks carry memory. They hold spirit, resistance, celebration, protection, and transformation.
In this immersive clay workshop at ACAF in Philadelphia, participants will be introduced to a glimpse of Afro-diasporic mask histories across continents—beginning with ceremonial mask traditions of West and Central Africa, tracing their transformation through the Caribbean and South America during and after the transatlantic slave trade, and exploring how these visual languages continue to evolve in contemporary U.S. cultural practices.
Together, we’ll examine how masks function as portals and preservation of identity.
Participants will then learn handbuilding techniques to create their own clay masks.
