Whether something you’re born into or built and found in time, they are worth celebrating. Through shared memories and experiences, through good and bad, families are the ones we rely on and are nurtured by to keep us going.

The effects of su***de are experienced not only by those who have it, but also by those around them. It is branded by its own kind of grief, accompanied by a lot of unanswered questions. Still, it’s important to know how to cope and manage complex emotions and to process it as constructively as we can manage. All the while, reaching out to loved ones and professional guidance to find your footing and to relearn how to live moving forward.

“𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝘁—𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘁.”

September 10 stands as the World Su***de Prevention Day, a reminder that we all play a part in making the world a kinder place — to ourselves and to each other.

This means knowing when to get the right help or guide others to it. It means being a community that creates the space for vulnerability and care. This act alone can make a world of difference.

Where threads hold stories, and presence weaves connection.

Last July 26, we gathered in movement, creation, and shared presence at Bodega, Kamputhaw.
Together, we explored Kapwa—the space between you and me—through the power of expressive arts.

🎨 Move. Create. Witness. Weave.
Connection lives where we are truly seen.
