two brands. one mission. one very special evening. ✨🤎

We are so excited to announce Soundscape Experience x Sana Crown — a beautiful collision of sound healing, community, and conscious luxury.

Sana Crown is a Toronto-based social enterprise jewelry brand founded by the incredible Sana Ahmed. Her pieces are rooted in the stories of women — drawing from African and Middle Eastern heritage — and every purchase supports the education of young women in Ethiopia. Radiant pieces, lasting impact.

This evening, we’re pairing the stillness of a sound bath with the beauty of Sana Crown’s collections because healing looks and feels like so many things.

10 years ago, we were just two coworkers having lunch together and yapping about wellness.

These conversations created room to share what we loved about the industry, but also what we wish could be improved for women of colour.

In 2017, we decided to do something about it - hosting events in Montreal, then eventually in Toronto.

Over the years, we’ve been able to serve our community both online & offline through various events, workshops, and now at our studio.

In 10 years, we’ve served over 10,000 women of colour. Every week, 70-100 women walk through our doors.

We’re honoured to be able to create room for women of colour to move and connect in a space that was made for them.

Thank you for building this village with us.

With love, Kim & Shanelle 🤎

Sis, we’re heading to the movies next Thursday, February 12, and we’re bringing you with us. And guess what we’re watching? CRIME 101 ( )

Set against the sun-bleached grit of Los Angeles, Crime 101 weaves the tale of an elusive jewel thief (Chris Hemsworth) whose string of heists along the 101 freeway have mystified police. When he eyes the score of a lifetime, his path crosses that of a disillusioned insurance broker (Halle Berry) who is facing her own crossroads. Convinced he has found a pattern, a relentless detective (Mark Ruffalo) is closing in, raising the stakes even higher. As the heist approaches, the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur, and all three are faced with life-defining choices–and the realization that there can be no turning back.

So here’s how to win two(2) tickets to the advance screening:
1) Follow us
2) Tag your movie date

Date: Thursday, February 12th
Time: 7:00 PM
Location: Scotiabank Theatre Toronto (259 Richmond St W, Toronto)

2025 was a year full of moments that reminded us why The Villij exists.

Every class, event, and experience was a chance to create space for rest, movement, and connection.

From our first Group Therapy sessions to our sold-out retreat, from new ways to move to quiet celebrations of dedication, this year was about showing up—for ourselves and for each other.

As we step into 2026, we carry forward all we’ve learned and shared. We look forward to more spaces where you can feel seen, cared for, and connected. Here’s to another year of community, movement, and intentional wellness. See you in The Villij, sis ✨

There’s one more week to enjoy movement, connection, and care with us before our holiday pause.
