The Hearth Collective
Online Community for BIPOC Folks
Come join me and other people dealing with chronic illness for some intentional space to honor ourselves and all of our wins and challenges. This space centers marginalized identities and BIPOC folks (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color).
Welcome to the Hearth family!
This is a no-pressure, no-expectation space that encourages rest and to prioritize embracing community when isolation is so common now, especially in the chronically-ill/spoonie communities. I also want to emphasize many of us have invisible illnesses, or we are still struggling with our identity or the labels society puts on us… so I invite you all to join knowing you are welcome here.
Accessibility needs are important here, and I want to normalize speaking up for our needs as much as possible! We will prioritize rest first and foremost with an emphasis on curiosity and play. The vibe includes participating wherever is most comfortable for you-in bed, on a couch… plenty of breaks as needed, pajamas and cozy clothes encouraged, warm drinks and a bowl of snacks on hand—the only way zoom calls should be experienced.
This is not the space for therapy or support groups nor for medical advice. If you want more direct care from me in a practitioner capacity, please take a look at my private offerings that require a proper medical intake and private space for discussing personal information.
Sliding scale pricing will be offered, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. After joining the Mailing List, I’ll keep you updated with all of the different offerings you can read about below. If you have an idea of an offering you’d like to see or would like to co-facilitate, send me a message! I speak from my framework as an East Asian Medicine practitioner, but am all for collaborations of all types of modalities :)

Five Element Series
Every week for 6 weeks (first week a general overview), we explore one of the five elements (Water, Fire, Wood, Metal, Earth) in-depth with an experiential activity and reflection on how we relate to them both internally in spirit and mind and externally in our bodies and how we relate to the world around us.
Book Club Series
Length TBA depending on book length
We will read and discuss a book within the theme of chronic illness, autoimmunity, disability, etc.
Bring-A-Recipe To Share (Seasonal)
Bring a recipe to share with the group! Every season we may swap fun recipes and discuss the yum foods in season.
Coworking Sessions
Body double to help get work done! A no-pressure space to come in and get work done in the presence of others trying to get work done too! Sometimes you just need another person’s eyes on a new project your working on, or maybe you just want some accountability on that list of easy, yet difficult tasks like renewing your car registration. We’ve all been there. Come hang out!

The goal is to create a safe space for everyone to feel welcome. We’re also all adults and respect is a given here. Please don’t treat others in ways that you wouldn’t want to be treated yourself.
This is a casual meetup, but we still value each other’s time, so please try to arrive on time.
This is not the space for therapy or support groups nor for medical advice (Refer to your doctor). If you want more direct care from me in a practitioner capacity, please take a look at my coaching offerings that require a proper medical intake and private space for discussing personal information.
Any inappropriate behavior will have you be removed immediately. Zero tolerance space for any behavior other than inclusive.
Accessibility Needs: Please let me know beforehand if I can accomodate for your needs in any way. I am still learning myself to make spaces as inclusive as possible!
