The Healing Circle LA community gathered together at a holiday event in Los Angeles

Healing Circles & Wellness Programs for the Los Angeles Community

A dialogue space for Black men and women.

The Healing Circle LA is a Los Angeles nonprofit creating space for Black men and women to heal, talk, and build. Through community dialogue groups, wellness workshops, mental health support circles, and financial literacy classes, we help our community process trauma, restore balance, and grow — together. Every circle is free to attend and open to anyone ready to show up for themselves.

“Before we can change material conditions in the community, we first have to heal the hearts and minds of the community.”
