Community & Event Spaces
We may have begun as a Videoblog and Podcast... but the current BCH Community is now so much more...
Click here to join our FREE mailing list & learn more!Our next event: the BCH Song Circle!
We're excited to share the registration link for the first ever BCH EP Song Circle, happening Saturday, April 26th at 4pm EST! Folks can Pay What You Can (Donate) to join, and learn songs from the BCH Album (including some not yet released!), as well as a few old favorites. Just 10 slots are available, to keep this first experience intimate, so get in while you can!
Register for the BCH Song CircleJoin us in Community!
The first ever BCH Retreat was hosted virtually on Sutra.co, June 3-5, 2022. Since that time we have held multiple regular opportunities for Black and non-Black folks alike to deepen their commitment to Black-affirming creativity.
The Application portal for our newest space, the Refining Practice Circle, has now closed, but feel free to scroll down for more details on other BCH spaces and opportunities!
Currently, we offer the following:
- one FREE, Black (Invite Only) space via Discord, and
- one Racially Open, Tiered (Paid) Patreon Space.
Black Only Spaces
Discord serves as the core INVITATION ONLY membership space for our Black/African Diasporic Family to join us as we continue gathering, as well as planning future retreats! We also send our Black Fam emails if they'd rather not use that platform to engage. We host a Social Hour on the 15th of every month, and a monthly Creative Co-work on the 30th!
In need of an invite? Adenike & Natasha are ramping up for us to have more public events soon, and that's where many of our connections for invites tend to be made. So stay tuned to our Eventbrite and this space for Public Events and other opportunities to connect with us!
Why invite Only? We envision Black Creative Healing as being like a "house": our retreats and Black-only spaces are like bedrooms, parts of the house that are privately tailored just for the folks who live in the Black experience, to heal in ways that are unique to us and our needs. As such, they are highly sensitive spaces, and we promote the safety of everyone in those spaces when we take care to vet who comes in. So vetting, for us, isn't about keeping people out, it's about keeping those folks who are already inside safe!
How do we vet participants? The criteria is pretty basic, honestly. If you're Black, make a connection with either Adenike, Natasha, or another one of our existing members in a physical or virtual event space, demonstrate care and respect for privacy and other peoples' capacity and boundaries, that's all you really need to get yourself an invite!
Multi-Racial Spaces
Patreon is our most accessible PUBLIC space, and contains a few FREE newsletter posts, as well as subscription based content starting at just $5 for Black and non-Black folks alike looking to engage with our work more deeply.

In general, we ask that people consider their motivations for entering our more intimate spaces before doing so. That's the reason for some of the additional questions in our registration surveys. If you are looking for a place to dive deep into your own healing process in community with others, these may be the spaces for you! If you're just looking to network and self-promote, ours will not be your kind of spaces.
Thank you for doing your part to help us center our safety and care in community!

*REMINDER: we are not currently using the Public Eventbrite for the Social Hour and Creative Co-Works. We still have those events, they are only shared via our Invitation Only Spaces. We continue using the Public Eventbrite for events like our CareCrafts & retreats, though, or you can access a 2025 Services Guide here.
