Collective Conversations
In February The Blackyard Collective is launching Collective Conversations, a series of virtual gatherings led by Black artists, activists, advocates, practitioners, and professionals who will enrich our community on a wide range of topics to enrich our lives.
Cultivating Black Queer Love, Intimacy, & Connection in Sobriety:
An Interactive Workshop
Tuesday, February 20th
@ 7pm EST
As Black queer folks in recovery from addiction, we are constantly navigating a variety of identities, communities, and spaces that inhibit our capacity toward intimacy and vulnerability.
Please join us as we discuss different expressions of intimacy and explore tools and resources for cultivating love, connection, and intimacy in our personal lives.
