We are inviting you to our conversation on Saturday, June 20th, at the Southern Colorado Juneteenth Festival and the indoor Norris Penrose Event Center from 10:15am-11:00am. Healthier Together: A Freedom Day Discussion is a panel moderated by our executive director, Jennaya Colóns. Her extensive background in hospital settings and community health will guide this inspiring panel of professionals, who will paint a picture of where we are and where we strive to be.

Patience Kabwasa, Executive Director of Food to Power
Felicia Embry, Certified Community Health Worker & Founder of Thelma Lou's Innersoul Food
Wa'Kiem Brock, Community Mental Health Advocate & Founder of the BROCK Foundation
Dr. Derric Thomas, Physical Therapist, Pain Specialist, and Experience Manager at UCHealth

We will discuss how we can work together as a community to fill gaps and lean into shared experiences. There will be exciting topics around food access, the most up-to-date research on pain and mental health, and ways to immediately get involved with community projects that improve our well-being! You will also have the opportunity to submit a question for a chance to be read on stage.

See you there!

June is Men’s Mental Health Month! A new program, Men, Mountains, and Mental Health, nurtured by Highroots and led by Wa’Kiem Brock, fosters environments where men don’t have to carry everything alone. Here, you’re supported in not having all the answers. This is a place to let it all go, knowing you won’t be left there. Through trust, shared experience, and brotherhood, we help each other put the pieces back together with strength, clarity, and authenticity.

This program is designed to be accessible to various levels. Please keep in mind to wear appropriate shoes, bring a water bottle, and wear sunscreen.

This month, we were honored to partner with Unity Project - Colorado Springs for the second annual CommUNITY Moves event. Everyone, including little ones to elders, went on a journey of song, breathwork, yoga, and tai chi while listening to the story of the Mind-Body-Spirit connection. This event is unlike anything else, reaching depths of unparalleled connection and healing. We are so grateful to Kai Gaynor Momo-XO for transforming our beautiful space with forestry and stars. And to Thelma Lou's Innersoul Food, thank you for nourishing us with healthy fruits and vegetables, especially the most delicious carrot dogs!
