Welcome to the Playground: Get ROOTED in Joy!
Aight, Sis—you’re here!
Welcome to June "The Joyful Soul Playground" the digital home where we’re getting deeply ROOTED in JOY all month long. Here is where the fete for your spirit happens!
What’s This Space All About?
Think of June as our collective journey of Play, Pray, Practice, where we explore liberation not through struggle, but through the radical, world-changing power of play and joy.
Get ready for "The Daily Re-Creation," our special rhythm for June, featuring:
☀️ Daily Delight: Kicking off with nostalgic play prompts (yes, think Hot Combs, Hopscotch, Penny Candy vibes!) and a reimagined nursery rhyme to spark that inner child.
🎧 What's Poppin' Playlist: Tuning into our Black Music Month lyric spark – a daily dose of lyrical medicine to get our liberation groove on.
🧠 Wisdom in the Wonder: Grounding in potent affirmations and ancestral wisdom that reminds us of the power and necessity of our joy.
💃🏾 Rhythm of Resilience: Activating our spirits with sacred steps, journal prompts, or playful actions to embody that joyful freedom.
Here, You Get:
💜 Your Daily Pass to Playful Power – Exclusive daily prompts, surprise lyrical drops, and a front-row seat to celebrating Black Music Month with soul.
💜 Joyful Noise & Deep Connection – From "Playing Mas" energy to the strategy of chess, we're exploring all facets of play. This is where we connect, create, and laugh out loud.
💜 Sisterhood & Sunshine – Share your wins, your playful moments, your insights with a vibrant community of Black women dreamers, doers, and joy-seekers.
💜 Liberation Through Laughter (and Lyrics!) – We're lightening the load, finding our freedom in creative expression, and making joy our rhythm.
💜 A Whole Legacy of Joy in Motion – We ain’t just surviving; we’re thriving – loud, proud, and playing our way to inner peace and collective liberation.
The Vibe? (Our Loving Agreements):
1️⃣ Show Up & Play Full Out: Engage when you can, bring your authentic, joyful spirit (even if it's a quiet joy).
2️⃣ Share the Vibe: Joy is contagious! Feel free to invite sisters who resonate with this energy.
3️⃣ Be About Joyful Action: This is more than just good feelings – it’s about practicing play, embodying prayer in motion, and making joyful resilience our daily anthem.
You just you stepped into a celebration of your own spirit. Now let’s get to playing, praying, and practicing our way to a joy-filled June!
🚀 JOY UNLOCKED. Let’s Play! #SisterhoodSitin #ROOTEDinJoy #PlayPrayPractice #BlackMusicMonth #JoyfulLiberation
Group Rules
Our Sacred Commitments: Keeping Our Circle Strong
Welcome home to ROOTED in JOY TheJoyful SoulCast: To ensure this space remains a sanctuary for healing, vulnerability, and finding our rainbows together, we ask every member to embrace these commitments with an open heart. Think of these as the loving boundaries that allow us all to show up fully and safely. We Honor This Sacred Space & Each Other: Treat this digital circle with reverence. What's shared here, especially personal stories and feelings, stays here – like secrets whispered over the kitchen table between trusted family. Respect each person’s unique journey, background, and perspective. Listen (or read) more than you speak.
Speak Your Truth, Witness Deeply
Speak Your Truth, Witness Deeply: We encourage authenticity. Share from your own experience ("I feel," "I experienced") rather than making generalizations. Equally important is the practice of deep witnessing – holding space for another’s story without interrupting, judging, or centering yourself. Both sharing and quiet presence are valuable contributions.
Hold with Compassion, Not Judgment
Hold with Compassion, Not Judgment: We meet each SoulScream, each moment of vulnerability (ours and others'), with compassion. This is a judgment-free zone. We understand that healing is messy, non-linear, and looks different for everyone. Assume positive intent, extend grace freely.
Tend, Don't Fix
Tend, Don't Fix: We are here to support, not to save or solve. Please resist the urge to give unsolicited advice, diagnose, or "fix" another member's situation. Often, the greatest gift is simply presence and acknowledgment ("I hear you," "Thank you for sharing," "I'm holding space for that"). Offer resources only if specifically asked.
Engage Mindfully & Respect Boundaries
Engage Mindfully & Respect Boundaries: Participate at the level that feels right for you each day – no pressure. Keep posts and comments relevant to our group's focus (Mental Health Awareness, the Daily SoulCast, shared healing). This isn't the space for unrelated promotions, spam, or excessive outside links. Honor your own capacity and the capacity of others.
Uphold Sisterhood & Belonging
Uphold Sisterhood & Belonging: This ground is fertile only for respect, equity, and love. We have zero tolerance for racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any form of hate speech or personal attack that diminishes the light or dignity of another member. We strive to make this a space where all who identify with sisterhood feel seen, valued, and safe
Know When to Seek Deeper Support
Know When to Seek Deeper Support: While this space is supportive and therapeutic in nature, it is not a replacement for professional therapy or crisis intervention. We encourage everyone to seek appropriate professional help when needed. If you are in immediate crisis, please reach out to a crisis hotline or mental health professional.
