[JULY 24, 2026 | VIRTUAL] Embodied Archives: A Feminine Study Parlor
Summer 2026 Desire Series
Embodied Archives is an intimate, facilitated study parlor grounded in Black Feminine Cultural Mysticism (BFCM). Each gathering convenes a small cohort to collectively explore embodiment, desire, beauty, memory, and Black feminine interiority through close reading, guided reflection, and thoughtful dialogue.
This is not a course or a coaching program.
It is a reflective study space rooted in softness, intellectual rigor, embodiment, and collective presence.
Summer 2026 centers a seasonal inquiry into desire and the many ways Black women experience, negotiate, suppress, reclaim, and embody it.
July’s gathering, Embodied Presence, explores desire as self-permission, visibility, grounding, and the practice of fully inhabiting oneself.
The session will take place virtually on Friday, July 24, 2026 at 7:00 PM EST.
Selected texts, readings, and reflection guidance will be provided one month in advance of the session.
