PRACTITIONER INVITATION

An Invitation to Practitioners

Black August Wellness Gathering

Saturday, August 29 · 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM

The ARC · 1145 E Washington St, Suite 100 · Phoenix, AZ 85034

Why you are reading this

Someone in the village put your name forward.

We put out a call for the healers, growers, makers, and practitioners doing this work in Phoenix. Your name came back.

This is the invitation, and everything you need to decide.

What the day is

Three hours. One room. An open door.

The gathering brings the practitioners who are already doing this work into the same room as the people who need them. Breathwork, movement, mental health, nutrition, herbs, sound, and craft, side by side.

No registration. No cost. Nobody is turned away.

How the day runs

Tables run the full window, 11:00 to 2:00. Makers and healers hold their own tables the entire time, so people can move at their own pace.

Practitioner segments run throughout. Twenty to thirty minutes each, staggered through the afternoon, so there is always something happening and never a reason to rush.

Sound moves through the whole day rather than sitting in one slot.

We film and photograph throughout.

Two ways to take part

  • Hold a table

    The full three hours. Bring your work, your products, your resources. Sit with people one to one. Best for makers, herbalists, nutritionists, and anyone whose work is a conversation.

  • Lead a segment

    Twenty to thirty minutes. Your practice, taught the way you teach it. Best for instructors, movement practitioners, sound practitioners, and anyone whose work is felt in the body.

Some people do both. Tell us which fits you and we will build the day around it.

What you receive

  • No fee in either direction. You pay nothing to be there and we take nothing from you.
  • You keep everything you sell.
  • You keep everyone who finds you. Anyone who books with you that day is yours.
  • You leave with footage. We film the whole day and you receive everything we shoot of you, to use however you want.
  • You are named in the promotion, on the flyer and across our channels.

Where this sits

  • Thursday, August 20.

    The Reset Preview. One free session showing both halves of what we train.

  • Saturday, August 29.

    This gathering. The open door, and the widest room we will have had.

  • Thursday, September 3.

    The Reset Sessions begin. A free twelve week program in breath, self defense, and discipline. Twelve spots in the first cohort.

The 29th is where the community meets the practitioners. What starts that day continues past it.

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU

Say yes first. Details can follow.

The RSVP takes two minutes. Your name, your practice, and whether you want a table or a segment.

  1. Your name and what you practice
  2. Table, segment, or both
  3. Anything you need from the space

Flyer details are optional on the form. If you have them by Monday, August 18, you make the flyer. If not, your place is still held.

If you would rather not appear on camera, say so and we will work around you.
