What’s the weirdest or most unexpected thing you’ve done for your wellness?

Healing doesn’t always look conventional — sometimes it looks like dancing out grief or shouting into the wind.

One of our staff shared:

“I use movement and sound to process emotions.
I practice somatic dancing and sometimes vocalize to release anger in a healthy way.
It’s part of how I care for my mental and emotional wellness.”
— Pier 360 Staff

What’s helped you let go? What’s brought you back to yourself — even if it seemed strange at first?

Dior Vargas, a Latina mental health activist known for the People of Color and Mental Illness Photo Project, Dior combats stigma by visually chronicling BIPOC experiences with mental illness, showcasing the faces and names behind the journey.

We wanted to take this time to honor her efforts in destigmatizing mental health challenges in under supported communities.

It’s not about perfection—it’s about expressing where we are, connecting at our own pace, and creating something meaningful to us. If you'd like to join, we’d love to have you.
We’re here when you’re ready. 💙

Bebe Moore Campbell (1950–2006) was a powerful writer and mental health advocate who believed every community deserves access to care without stigma.

She co-founded NAMI Inglewood and used her voice to spotlight mental health challenges in BIPOC communities — long before it was widely talked about. Her legacy helped create National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, observed every July.

We honor her vision, her courage, and the healing she made possible.

What’s the weirdest (or most unexpected) thing you’ve done for your wellness?
At Pier 360, we know wellness doesn’t always look like bubble baths or green smoothies. Sometimes it’s messy, raw, spiritual, or even uncomfortable.

One of our peers, David shared this honest reflection about how compassion — especially across political or personal divides — has become a profound and possibly atypical part of his wellness journey.

We invite you to read his words, sit with them, and consider:
What has wellness looked like for you in the most unexpected moments?

"The weirdest thing I have done for my wellness might not be the right word. I think atypical might be a better word. As a Buddhist (I have taken refuge), compassion and loving kindness are things I strive for.

However, it is not always something that can be done in the current political atmosphere. How can I feel compassion and loving kindness for someone with different political views?

I remember once reading about a Tibetan Buddhist monk that feared losing his compassion for the Chinese who had imprisoned and tortured him.

Could we feel compassion and loving kindness for those with different political views without abandoning our own views?

Whether we use the word weirdest or atypical, can we have wellness without having compassion and loving kindness for other human beings?"
