In-person Processing Space: Commune & Color

  • Hephzibah House NYC (map)

Our first in-person Processing Space is here! Say hello to a time for gentle reflection and care with coloring, journaling, and community.

Come regulate your nervous system and de-stress with prayer, mindfulness, and some good ol’ coloring.

Yesterday was January 2020 and somehow today is March 2025.

When did we get here? How did we get here? How am I surviving with the all the things happening in the world?!

Capitalism tricks you into overworking to prove your worth, family and friends pressure you into fitting into their idea of “good”, and toxic theology propels you towards perfectionism instead of into the loving arms of God… whew, it’s a lot sis.

So if you find yourself feeling all over the place, burnt out, and in a funk, don’t worry - us too.

Come to a space where you can take your mask off, breathe, and process all the tension, thoughts, and feelings. We’ll pray, practice mindfulness, color, journal, and all the things together (with some yummy snacks & drinks). You’ll get two coloring cards and take-home guide on how to keep managing all this stress, too.
