Kwanzaa’s third day celebrates Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility), the practice of lifting one another through shared work and shared purpose. This year, Brooklyn Ethical welcomes Dr. Myrah Brown Green, a renowned scholar, artist, and cultural preservationist, to guide us through the deeper meaning of this principle. Her insights into African diasporic traditions invite us to reflect on how Ujima shows up in our families, communities, and collective history.

The celebration will include live music from Dupree and special guests, creating a warm and vibrant atmosphere that honors the spirit of the season. Together, we will explore the cultural roots of Kwanzaa, celebrate creativity and resilience, and reflect on the power of community responsibility.

Chair yoga for everyone, anywhere. No prior experience is needed. All ages and abilities are welcome.

You won’t need a mat, only a sturdy chair. You will learn simple but effective meditation and breathing techniques that you can do at home to reduce anxiety and breathe more freely. You will also be guided through gentle movements to release tension in the muscles supporting the spine and shoulders, as well as some balance and strengthening exercises using the support of the chair for safety and stability.

You will leave breathing easier and feeling calmer and more at home in your body. Yoga can help to reduce depression, improve sleep, and increase oxygenation and circulation in the body.
