Who's your guru?
Your go-to when you need a hit of wisdom, compassion, someone who returns your spirit and allows you to be yourself. A few come to mind: yoga teachers, meditation guides, thought leaders. My research into wellness programs led me to discover an epic guru to share with you, Lauren Ash (pictured here), and her amazing organization, Black Girl in Om.
Lauren began her mission in 2014 to rewrite the narrative of what 'well-being' looks like for black women and their communities. Her background in yoga, meditation, and spirituality, combined with her natural ability as a storyteller, have generated the power to amplify her message within her community and beyond.
So, what does Black Girl In Om do? It's a platform offering curated content and experiences designed for black women around the world. Specifically, it's a means of bringing about healing, transformation, and spiritual awakening.
Offerings:
🕉 Integrative Healing Session with Lauren Ash - guided meditation, reflective journaling, human design awareness, and energy healing
🕉 The 28 Essential Truths of Alignment, designed by Lauren Ash - 7 guided Audio Meditations, 4 Spiritual Downloads, 28 Days to Alignment Playlist
🕉 The Circle Membership - New and Full Moon Gatherings, access to several classes from BGIM and The Chopra Center, community conversations, special guest talks, and much more
🕉 Podcast - over 2 million subscribers listen to words of wisdom and spirituality

If you're following my IG, you know I can go on about fragrance. And while I have some favorites I've discovered over the years, most if not all do not pass the clean, non-toxic test.
