Liberated Space is partnering with non-profit organizations and holistic wellness businesses to curate a multi-city wellness retreat, designed for practicing artists and creative women to experience restoration and healing.
The retreat serves as an activation space to teach others how to use available resources for self-care, how to use creativity as a tool for growth and connection, affirming herself and others to expand.
The selected artist will receive a modern, luxurious stay, a welcome package with self-care items, a stipend for expenses, and the opportunity to receive holistic healing with experienced professionals.
Donate to our cause today! Your donations will go directly toward programming for this retreat as we travel through North America in 2021.
WHEN: Early 2021
WHERE: Atlanta, GA; New Orleans, LA; Dallas, TX
WHY: Lavender Haus explores the way Black women in creative industries are affected mentally by their environment, exemplifying the necessity of safe spaces for connection and regeneration as a means to sustainability and lowering stress levels. Black women are underpaid, overworked, and deal with issues of systemic racism that other minority groups may not experience as intensely.
According to Census Bureau data, Black women earn just 61 cents for every dollar earned by their white male counterparts. Although Black women are the most educated and start more businesses than any group in the US, there is still an alarming reality of burnout among these women. The risk for hypertension and other stress-related diseases are 60-85% higher for Black women, making it apparent and necessary for restoration and healing from a toxic work culture and stressful environments.
Art and culture play a major role in the country’s economy, bringing in over $800 billion in revenue annually. It is imperative that the contributing artists are enriched, encouraged, and mentally well, in order to help themselves and their cities thrive.
The health of the artists in a community reflects the health of that community, and Lavender Haus aims to sustain the health of artists in large markets.
