Workshop 4: Your Health and Wealth

We start this workshop with an eye opening discussion about estate planning and it’s uses for two types of people: 1) those that have passed away and 2) those that are incapacitated. Either way, if it’s not planned ahead for, it can affect generations of your family. Learn what makes up an estate plan so you can have peace of mind that you put together the proper estate plan for your family.

Healthcare costs are a mounting concern in today’s society, and we will discuss what today’s healthcare system looks like, as well as how the health care system offers support to seniors and the options that people have to manage their health care costs to preserve their assets. Learn about how Medicare, Medicaid, and Long Term Care, how they support elders, and what the options are for different seniors’ situations.

Caregiving 101 gives a general overview of what it means to be a caregiver and how caregiving impacts ones overall health and wellbeing. This specific class offers general information on respite, caregiver stress, ways to find help, and a few more topics related to caregiving.

At Rafiki we are feeling compelled by a request from community and the needs of our own staff to offer a series of HEALING CIRCLES that provide an opportunity for our community to come together to acknowledge our pain and grief and learn and engage with healing tools and ideas.

Why are the Healing Circles Crucial?

We cannot and must not become numb and compliant in the face of violence. To date this year there have been 13 homicides and 338 aggravated assaults in San Francisco’s Bayview/Hunters Point neighborhood. The traumatic impact of these numbers is amplified through proximity to, and the witnessing of violence.

Rafiki Director of Programs Javarré Wilson emphatically explains: “Our community is hurting—even those who don’t know they are and those who have internalized the pain and hurt. Too many of our youth and young adults have grown numb to the attacks of violence in our community and view it as just a daily part of their experience. Too often members of our community have approached me with heavy hearts expressing that someone else from our community has been violently attacked or murdered. Our hearts are heavy and filled with so much pain. We must do better to end this violence across our communities. There are some who have given up or resigned to the fact there is nothing we can do. As Rafiki’s Director of Programs I want to encourage us all that there is always something we can do.”

We are excited to host this series of HEALING CIRCLES led by the brilliant Dr. Brenda Wade and that include the following:

• Four group healing circles to be held in person at Rafiki. (Wednesdays, December 14 and 21. January Dates TBD)
• A safe space to acknowledge, grieve, learn from and share with each other.
• Community participants will include frontline workers, youth, and families dealing with loss and grief.
• A delicious and healthy hot meal and healthy grocery boxes to take home will be available.
• Gift cards for $100 will be raffled.
• Incentives (Nintendo Switches) for youth attendance will be raffled.
• African drum circle and other healing modalities will be offered.

La tarea de cuidar de otras personas está llena de muchas emociones mixtas y variadas, como sentimientos de amor, pérdida, ira, afecto, tristeza, frustración y culpa. No es raro que los cuidadores familiares se sientan solos y aislados. Se necesita mucha energía física, mental, espiritual y emocional para cuidar a un ser querido. Los cuidadores a menudo experimentan un mayor nivel de estrés, ansiedad y depresión que aquellos que no son cuidadores. En esta clase, compartiremos estas emociones y aprenderemos sobre las formas de ayudarlos a sobrellevar y manejar las emociones difíciles.

The Rooftop Medicine Farm is the urban outpost for the Deep Medicine Circle(DMC)’s Farming is Medicine project. The DMC is a women of color-led organization formed to heal the wounds of colonialism through food, medicine, story, restoration and learning. Our rooftop farmers use agroecological practices to seed, grow and give away thousands of pounds of nutritious food a month to our community members who are made vulnerable by social structures that create hunger. They also provide ecological care through tending soil and enhancing habitat for the more than human life that keeps the farm healthy and productive.

Come volunteer with us on Thursdays from 1-4pm to help directly support our community’s health! The food we grow is given to Poor Magazine, People’s Programs, Moms4Housing, the Self-Help Hunger Program and UCSF Children’s Hospital Oakland for distribution. We also provide our foods to Wahpepah’s Kitchen to support Chef Crystal in her work to feed community at no cost.

Please bring clothing and gear to protect you from the elements (wind, sun) and a mindset to learn from our farm team! Thank you for your interest in participating in transforming our food system into one based in care–of the earth and the people

About this event:

We hear all day about the importance of self-care, but that’s not where real change is made. When you’re raising a child with mental health challenges, self-care feels like a million miles away. Let’s be honest, it can be a struggle to keep your head above water!

This workshop is for you if:

• You are burnt out and exhausted from the demands of motherhood

• You long to feel a sense of freedom in your life

• You know you need to focus on your needs but simply don’t know HOW to start

• You lost hope that ease and grace can exist again

Focusing on SOUL care is where life truly changes. Every mom needs & deserves to be nurtured, but if you’re raising a child with mental health challenges, this likely feels completely impossible.

I’ve been in your shoes, and I know with certainty that learning how to establish, embrace, and maintain soul care practices saved my life. This is true for you too. You can finally move from a life of heartache, and the daily grind, to a place of grounded confidence where you can show up as the best version of yourself.

Never underestimate the power you hold as a Mom. When your cup is full, you show up differently, whether you realize it or not. If you want to be the best for your family, you have to feed your soul. When you give yourself soul care in small ways every single day, your entire life changes, your family changes, and it’s in ways you never could have seen coming.

Are you ready to explore what soul care could look like for you? If you’re ready to shift your perspective and feel a rekindled sense of grace, ease and freedom in your life, this workshop is for you!

Sign up today, check your email for details, and arrive ready to go all in! I can’t wait to connect with you.

~ Kris
