2021 has been a year that has challenged us in many ways: navigating post-pandemic nuances has not only been a trauma in and of itself, there have been other factors at play that have impacted our physical health, mental well-being and social-emotional state. Some of us used the pandemic and post-pandemic, to reset, revive, and rejuvenate our nervous systems. Having had the opportunity to really delve into self motivations and passions, it was amazing to see how confinement, rest and pause, led innovation, creativity and a greater focus on self-care.

If Self-Care becomes the central priority of every human being, does it change how we perceive good health and healing?

This winter, Exhale to Inhale hopes to inspire you by spotlighting the work of three women of color who are activists in our community. All three activists are honing their respective crafts and creative passions while challenging us to think about well-being and social justice using a trauma-informed lens.

On February 24th at 5pm EST, join us in conversation with Sweta Vikram, a celebrated author/speaker, mindfulness activist, an Exhale to Inhale trauma-informed yoga teacher to learn more about how trauma-informed yoga and ayurveda have influenced her own recovery and resiliency. Sweta documents her healing journey in a recently released book titled, A Piece of Peace. Sweta will read from the book and also share insights and accounts of her own influences, inspiration and wisdom.
