Monthly Events

An Invitation to Come Home to Yourself.

Welcome to the Sankofa Events page.


At Sankofa, every month is an invitation to come hOMe to yourself. Each month, we curate intentional events that nourish the mind, body, and spirit — from yoga and movement to mindfulness and connection.

 

Every experience is thoughtfully designed to align with the themes of our upcoming Winter Retreat, offering you a taste of the transformation to come. Explore what’s on this month below — and if you’re ready to go deeper, click here to join the Winter Retreat waitlist.

With care,

The Sankofa Team

Unwind

A Refuge of Tea, Meditation,
and Creative Pause

Saturday | December 13, 2025 | 6:00PM - 8:00PM

Settle in for an evening of quiet connection and spacious unwinding as the year winds down. We’ll begin by sharing tea—an invitation to arrive fully, slow your breath, and soften into the present moment. From there, we’ll move into a guided meditation to ground the body and open the heart.

Afterward, the space becomes yours to explore. Bring your own creative crafts, journaling practice, knitting, or simply enjoy low-key coloring materials provided. Or use the space to just relax. This is a time for unhurried creativity—no expectations, no pressure, just a supportive space to drift, make, reflect, or simply be.

We’ll close with a short meditation to gather what unfolded and return to ourselves with clarity and ease.

This gathering is for anyone needing a soft landing, a creative pause, or a moment of rest held in community. Come as you are. A variety of tea will be available to explore. Bring your favorite mug to sip from, along with your creative craft.
