The Pivot for Expansion

Upcoming Gathering | Chicago | Saturday, September 26, 2026 | 11a-1p

Everything in our lives does not always go as we have planned it out. Certain things require us to pivot in order to allow more room for growth and expansion. It is up to us to decide if we lean into it or ignore the call.

This gathering will be an open discussion centered around ways that we can lean into the pivot in order to create ways to call in a more fulfilled life. 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.
