P O W E R in N U M B E R S: A Wellness Day for Oakland
A Supportive Event Centering Access to People Care Valuing Earth Care and Fair Share for the Future
With the operation of our current society, specifically in the United States, we must recognize the potential to refine our current systems, made by human. In order to fully service these facets, we must first recognize the foundation of possibility [self care]. If we do not strategize this driving force alongside our community work, our mind, body, spirit wholeness is deprived leaving our work in a synonomous state. To regenerate our ability to perform our mission, we must first take time for self purification.
And so the people have come together to offer, Power in Numbers: A Wellness Day for Oakland
