What we’re about
Walking with Essence is a gentle, soul-centered walking community for Black Woman rooted in self-care, mindfulness, and personal restoration. With each step, we reconnect with our bodies, renew our spirits, and honor the natural pace of growth. This group is a support system for those in tender seasons of life, offering companionship, encouragement, and a reminder that growth doesn’t have to happen alone.
Our walks are inspired by GirlTrek's Black History Self-Care School, 21-day walking meditation series, designed to create intentional spaces for breathing, reflecting, and nurturing the essence within. Whether you join us or not, please take a moment to visit myselfcareschool.org to begin your own journey. This thread is our safe space for walking ourselves back home — one step at a time.
Our aim is to honor the tenderness of new growth by committing to weekly mindful walks. Resetting the body, restoring our inner balance, and protecting the quiet joy within. 🌿
