This Black August, we come together to practice our medicine or remember our claim to freedom. Our ancestors built sanctuary in the margins, using whatever the land provided to survive and resist. We are doing the same.
Join Dominicans Love Haitians Movement for a free three-hour outdoor ritual of ancestry, spirit, and community care for Black and Afro-diasporic people—where you leave with a collective spiritual bath.
Space is strictly capped at 20 participants per session to keep the container intimate, raw, and highly protective.

Cathedral of St. John the Divine

A Rare Conversation on What Matters Most — with Gurudev
📍 Cathedral of St. John the Divine, New York 
🗓️ September 23rd | 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM
We struggle to stay present. We wait for the world to become peaceful. And too often, we feel powerless to change any of it.
What if power, presence, and peace are closer than you think?
Power: What would change if difficult people, unexpected events, and circumstances beyond your control no longer had the power to shake you?
Presence: Imagine giving the person, decision, or moment in front of you your full attention — without your mind pulling you somewhere else.
Peace: What if you could feel deeply at ease even before the problems are solved, the uncertainty disappears, or the world calms down?
Walk away less easily shaken, more fully present, and more at ease with life as it is.
Experience this wisdom with Gurudev, delivered with his characteristic simplicity, depth, and humor. The evening will include live music, guided meditation, and a live Q&amp;A.
🎟️ Seats are limited — reserve yours now.
