MOVEment

Black August isn't just commemorated. It's practiced.

MOVEment is a one-day movement experience to liberate the mind and body.

An invitation to deepen our connection to one another through movement, reflection, and collective care by being grounded in the third principle of the Black August liberation movement: Train. This is the commitment to physical exercise and mental discipline to fortify the body and mind for the ongoing liberation struggle.

Throughout the morning, you'll get the opportunity to experience several wellness activities and build community through the following

 = Community Run OR walk w/ We Run Durham & On Your Left run clubs
 = Body & Bandz w/ Jon of GTA Fitness
 = Dance Fitness w/ Charity
 = Mat Pilates w/ Sabrina of Prevailing Pilates
 = Ease + Flow Yoga w/ Kelsey of Living For Synergy & The 360 Approach
 = A healing sound bath experience w/ Tasha of T.Nicole Wellness & The 360 Approach

Whether you come to move or simply to be in community, every experience is designed to welcome people of all ages, abilities, and fitness levels. Join us as we honor the Black August principle of physical training by embracing movement as a practice of discipline, resilience, and collective care.
