Learning to Surrender in Your Refinement Era with Eboné

Upcoming Gathering | Saturday, July 25, 2026 | 11a-1p

As you get to know yourself deeply, you begin to refine your taste- in people, situations, physical and material nature, and more. Your rules and boundaries begin to widen and take root. Sometimes it can feel a little uncomfortable or hard to move away from what you have been used to. However, there is so much magic when you surrender.

This gathering will be an open discussion centered around ways that we are refining ourselves to arrive at our best versions as well as how we are allowing surrender to play a major role. Facilitated by COMMUNION founder, Eboné, please bring a journal and something to place on the altar.

Welcome to COMMUNION, a monthly gathering space for Black women to be seen, celebrated, heard, and most importantly, WITNESSED. This is an ode to the Black woman. A living, breathing space where healing, dialogue, and joy permeate the air.

COMMUNION was born from the foundation of The Ayaba Series- a sacred healing space for women of color, with the emphasis on Black women, that promoted the ability to thrive. Ayaba began in 2016 in DC and concluded in 2024 in Los Angeles. With the growing need for community spaces in LA, especially for Black women, COMMUNION came about. It is reminiscent of Black women gathering in each other’s homes after church on Sundays or for social club meetings in the 1950s and beyond.

Every month, an intimate group of women will gather in a host’s home. The gathering will include fellowship, small bites, tea, and curated themed activities around individual and collective healing, open dialogue, and more. Your ticket contributes to refreshments and florals. Please note that spaces are very limited. Once your ticket is purchased, you will receive an email the DAY BEFORE the gathering with the host’s address. Please do not share the addresses of hosts.Tickets are limited to ONE per person. You must show proof of ticket purchase before entering to ensure safety and confidentiality.
