BIPOC Community Circle
2021-12-18 11:00 - 13:00 | WorldBeat Center, 2100 Park Blvd, San Diego, 92101, United States
The last couple of years of living with the pandemic and navigating our “new normal” has undoubtedly had an impact on our community. We have missed out on many opportunities to get together, break bread and listen to each other’s stories. In attempt to begin to rebuild our connection, we invite you to come together, bear witness to our experiences and discuss what is needed for us to restore a healthy community of support.
How in particular are we uplifting our elders and supporting our children? How are we continuing to work towards dismantling racism and supporting those who are most vulnerable? As we enter the holiday season, what does Unity look like? Please join us for a facilitated community dialogue, an opportunity to connect deeply with others, share what’s on your mind and in your heart and create a collective vision for the future.
FREE and open to all BIPOC identified folks
Pre-registration is encouraged, but not required.
This workshop is supported by the County of San Diego HHSA through supplemental CSBG CARES Act funding, as part of the Live Well Exchange program.

Crystal Hologram Activation and Sound Healing
2022-01-14 17:30 - 19:00 | WorldBeat Center, 2100 Park Blvd, San Diego, 92101, United States
Join us in aligning your soul for 2022 with a Crystal Hologram Activation and Sound Healing with Crystal Shaman and Licensed Acupuncturist, Najah A. Salaam and, Reiki Practitioner and Sound Healer Lindsey Roach.
Come and experience the healing vibration of sound paired with crystals and gemstones that are used to unlock deep parts of our souls that need healing. You will experience the healing power of the gemstones and crystals on the body, on specific points of a group our acupuncture meridians called the Extraordinary Meridians, that directly access the deeper parts of the soul. When paired with the healing vibrations of sound healing instruments (gongs, crystal singing bowls, and more) the vibrations of the crystals increase, which facilitates deep healing.
About Najah A. Salaam, Crystal Shaman
Najah has been practicing the healing arts since 2013, as a licensed acupuncturist in San Diego. She has always had an affinity to crystals, making healing jewelry for her patients for various issues. Her crystal knowledge became solidified after finding her teacher, and being initiated into the Jade Purity Lineage of Stone Medicine – which is an oral Daoist tradition, passed down 88 generations. She is now the proud bearer of this knowledge and offers crystal healing sessions in person, and from a distance. Her hope in this life is to spread the healing power of crystals to all people, so they can begin to incorporate the crystals and stones in their lives as the healing beings that they are.
About Lindsey Roach, Sound Healer
Lindsey Roach is a certified sound healing and reiki practitioner who loves holding space for others to tap into their own vibrant inner light and heart song. She is passionate about creating cosmic sound experiences that journey deep and nurture awakening; trusting that all feelings and sensations surface and unfold exactly as intended for each listener. She joyfully guides others in quieting their mind and relaxing into their bodies, allowing them to shift into the expansiveness of the present moment through the power of vibration. She’s profoundly connected to her gongs and uses a wide variety of other instruments and sound tools to form a diverse and all-encompassing blanket of sound.

The Wiz, A Children's Theatre Production
2022-02-12 19:00 - 21:00 | WorldBeat Center, 2100 Park Blvd, San Diego, 92101, United States
Come support our children’s theatre group led by Diva Works Entertainment Saturday, February 12th for their contemporary reproduction of “the Wiz”. An adaptation of the groundbreaking Broadway musical — itself a retelling of L. Frank Baum’s classic 1900 children’s fantasy “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”. This is a multigeneration community production led by Miss Monie that is sure to be a spectacular production.

About “The Wiz”
Over forty years after its original release, no film has uniquely defined black culture and shaped the framework of a musical genre quite like “The Wiz.”
For a generation of black Americans, this was the first time they saw people who spoke, and moved the way they did in a Broadway production and, later, a big-screen musical, and it has become a kind of rite of passage for the black community.
“The Wiz,” weaved together gospel, blues, soul and R&B — genres that are unequivocally black creations — and were narratives of the black experience.

BIPOC Community Circle
2022-02-26 11:00 - 13:00 | WorldBeat Center, 2100 Park Blvd, San Diego, 92101, United States
The last couple of years of living with the pandemic and navigating our “new normal” has undoubtedly had an impact on our community. We have missed out on many opportunities to get together, break bread and listen to each other’s stories. In attempt to begin to rebuild our connection, we invite you to come together, bear witness to our experiences and discuss what is needed for us to create a healthy community of support.
Please join us for a facilitated community dialogue, an opportunity to connect deeply with others, share what’s on your mind and in your heart and create a collective vision for the future.
This month’s theme is:
Proud to be Ourselves- Celebrating our Creativity, Resilience and Joy
FREE and open to all BIPOC identified folks
Pre-registration encouraged, but not required.
