Description

Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. TONE is excited to be able to invite the community out to join us on Restoration Day. In conjunction with the exhibition, Brick X Brick: A Billion Pounds of Cultivation, we have been able to engage in health and wellness; of the mind, body, and soul with our people. On Saturday, April 8th, from 1-4p.m. Restoration Day will be split into two: an Adult Day and a Youth Day. Both groups will participate in mindfulness through: yoga, meditation, journaling, food-tasting, ending things off with a dance party. Programming Director, Shorin Nichols, plans for the community to give themselves the permission to let go of external responsibilities and enjoy a day of restorative self care: “What I hope to see on Restoration Day is community coming together in the name of restoring self. As someone who is always on the go and doing things for others, I never really get to be still. I recognize that in those around me as well. I hope that the restoration will show folks that it’s okay to slow down and take care of yourself. I hope that folks leave with a sense of community, knowing that they’re not in this alone. Knowing that there are so many people willing to pick them up when they need it. That’s why this is important. Very happy that TONE is opening the door and helping push the much needed conversation on mental health and wellness.” We encourage all participants to bring your yoga mat, bottle of water, and a clear heart; and be sure to wear clothes that you can bend in. We can’t wait to see you all on Restoration Day, as we heal together through movement, sound, and conversation, as a community.
