The Y in Druid Hill celebrates the resiliency of the Black Man in our community. They are the fathers, brothers and sons that help to hold up our families, houses of worship and the community at large. Our Black Men are faced with chronic health conditions that are triggered by ongoing exposure to toxic stress and historical trauma. We are teaming up with The Living Well's Balance Calorie Initiative for the American Beverage Association to provide a vessel for healing and self care.
Brothers will experience forums designed to activate healing of the mind, body and soul. This day is designed to provide strategies for reducing stress, check in with health metrics and provide opportunities to discuss what's on your mind. Activities include yoga, meditation, spin class, boot camp, health screenings and testings, drum circles, open discussion forums for brothers, and healthy eating and cooking demonstrations.
This is a family friendly event targeted to male adolescents and adults.
