The Vibe Edit

A reflection on BIPOC joy, immigrant community resilience, and nervous system healing—plus invitations to retreat + workplace wellness.

Feeling heavy or overwhelmed by the world? This Vibe Edit explores Saucha, nervous system care, and a simple breath practice to clear the mind and soften the heart.

I never imagined I’d guide a soundbath inside a mock-trial courtroom - but that’s where I found myself in New York City: bowls shimmering under fluorescent lights, breath traveling the room, advocates exhaling together. The retreat, Embracing Regulation and Connection , was created for staff serving immigrant youth and families at The Door’s Legal Services . The day balanced trauma education  with embodied practice —and I was invited to bring Luna Serenity’s blend of somatics

I recently led a mindfulness workshop for Scholars at Collegiate Directions—bright, brave, first-generation college students preparing to navigate one of life’s biggest transitions. We titled the session Grounding & Belonging, and while I came to teach breathwork, journaling, and visualization, what unfolded went far deeper.

For so many professionals—especially BIPOC employees, caregivers, and those in mission-driven work—the workplace is a primary source of stress, disconnection, and burnout. We’re not just tired. We’re depleted. At Luna Serenity, we believe that healing doesn’t have to wait for the weekend or vacation.It can begin in the spaces where burnout is born.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how rest has shown up in my own life—not just as a tool for recovery, but as a practice of return. A way to reconnect with my body. With Spirit. With the rhythms that capitalism would have us forget.

In a world that often asks us to go faster, do more, and push through—even our self-care can begin to mimic the grind. Wellness becomes another task to manage. Another item on the list. Another performance.
