Wellbeing Series: Intentions as Medicine with Zami Hyemingway

In the bustling rhythm of work-life, it's often easy to lose touch with our inner selves. But imagine if you could harness the power of your inner spirit to heal, renew, and transform.

Join us on a unique journey into the realm of daily intention setting, inspired by Yoruba practices. Guided by Zami Hyemingway, you'll discover the art of speaking to your indwelling spirit, a method designed to reshape your internal narrative, foster healing, and empower personal growth.

Address the wounds from work, community, or family life that hinder your full potential. It's a chance to break free from the weights that prevent you from living your best life.

Take a pause, reconnect with your inner being.
