This unique interactive experience is set to take place on Thursday, May 16, from 6pm to 8pm at the hallowed halls of the International African American Museum at 14 Wharfside St, Charleston, SC.

In the very space that marks the largest entry point of enslaved Africans in American history, participants will have the rare opportunity to delve into the depths of Black history alongside Dr. Kamilah Majied. Dr. Majied, a celebrated contemplative leader and author of "Joyfully Just," will guide attendees through an immersive exploration of Black wisdom and Buddhist insights that promise to enlighten and inspire.

It's more than a history lesson; it's a chance to engage emotionally and spiritually, to learn meditative practices, and to carry forward the torch of Black history programming within communities and organizations.

Participants will leave equipped with the knowledge of how to mindfully connect with Black history and draw upon African indigenous philosophies and Buddhist teachings to enrich their understanding. This is not just an event—it's a transformative experience that intertwines the past with the present, encouraging a future of mindful engagement and community empowerment.
