Justice For Muslims Collective in partnership with MALIKAH, Heart Women & Girls and DVRP is organizing a day long wellness summit for Muslim communities in the DMV.

Join DVRP and Healing The Body's Ashley Dequilla for a hands-on night of guided meditation, abstract figure painting and performance. Focusing on the embodied experience through art, projection and photography, this will be a safe space for expression, art and a strong sense of community.
All supplies will be provided! No need for any experience in art or painting necessary, just an open heart, open mind and willingness to work with others. Email:[email protected] with questions or accommodation needs.
