We turn to Black History Month to reflect on the past while dreaming of the future. So many of us forget to care for ourselves in the present, overlooking the spiritual compass inside. How can empower ourselves to blossom in an often-unforgiving world? What does mental health, literacy, and spiritual wellness look and feel like? On 2/28, the Anacostia Arts Center will host Afro House: Spirit Fest in partnership with Grounded, The Go-Go Museum, and Busboys and Poets Anacostia from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. The festival includes live performances from local creatives , a creative marketplace, and so much more. We're thankful for our partners and look forward to celebrating in their spaces while our building is under construction. Stay tuned for more additions to the schedule!
The Beautiful Brown Rainbow (TBBR) invites you to a hands-on scented soy candle-making class, where we will fill a beautiful lotus flower glass vessel, with a lovely aroma. Bonus: Your candle vessel is reusable, making it a keepsake for continued enjoyment! Along the way, you'll learn the essentials of candle care and safety—because at TBBR, we believe that caring for your candles is just as important as caring for yourself. Our handcrafted experiences are designed to inspire self-sufficiency, creativity, and mindfulness.
Candle class is first come, first serve.
