This event is a part of a series of programs that celebrate Black art, community and culture in Vancouver.
Join us for a grounding, 60-minute mindful movement practice led by Melissa Nkomo, a certified mindfulness practitioner and the founder of Kunye—a modern mindfulness studio in Vancouver. The practice will be an example of The Slow Down, a signature Kunye class that blends calming breathwork with accessible postures to bring you into a state of moving meditation and dynamic stretching. All levels welcome!
The Well will be accepting donations at the event before and after class via cash or card payment. Donations will go towards supporting Vancouver Black Library and Kunye.
TICKETS
Events are free with an admission ticket ($29) or a membership. Registration required. Your Membership or ticket includes admission to the Gallery.
