Connect the dots between healing and wholeness in The Circle Membership

Introducing The Circle:

a digital sister circle by black girl in om

Black Girl In Om presents Divine Disruption: The Circle 1.0, a digital sister circle for our global community. This past April and May, we offered a beta experience of our membership platform, The Circle, and welcomed 300 black women and women of color to join us in leaning into the unlimited growth opportunities, spiritual awakenings, and community support possibilities that this unprecedented moment in history affords us. 

Now, we open up this opportunity to the larger community in a self-paced journey of embracing that this moment we’re in is for us, not against us. 

Inclusive of the following themes, each member is provided an intentionally curated blueprint for healing and expansion, and a supportive community to grow with.

Breaking the Shell 

 Setting your Intention 

Moving from Spirit

Expanding Beyond Limitations 

Claiming Radical Self-Love through Joy, Nurturing, and Community 

The Circle provides members with daily journaling prompts, weekly thought exercises, guided meditations led by BGIO practitioners, an enriching conversation between our founder Lauren Ash and special guest teacher Rachel Cargle, and bonus content. All materials are pre-recorded but you can still engage with the material actively by posting comments in the discussion area to each lesson or in our very own forum.

  • Core Intention I

    We provide a safe space for black women and women of color to practice breathing easy amidst uncertain and unprecedented times.

  • Core Intention II

    We cultivate a nourishing experience promoting personal growth, spiritual awakening, and community support in intentional response, not reaction, to the present, global crisis.

  • Core Intention III

    We spark conscious and subconscious healing.

Community Gratitude

"The fact that BGIO created a space that we could trust ourselves to be so vulnerable was amazing. Not to mention the amount of knowledge dropped. I left feeling empowered and transformed." — Lexus, BGIO Community Member

  • New (and renewed!) practices and rituals for holistic wellbeing

  • A meaningful connection to a global sisterhood in deep alignment with who you are unfolding into

Instructors

We'll be led by BGIO wellness practitioners: Lauren, Akudo, and Paige.

Founder, Black Girl In Om

Lauren Ash

Lauren Ash has clarity about her purpose ⁠— she’s here to expand the consciousness of black women and women of color. Since founding Black Girl In Om in 2014, her vision has led to the creation of transformational experiences and content that radically centers and authentically speaks to a historically and consistently marginalized global community. Lauren’s contributions to the world ultimately reflect what she once needed and didn’t see. As a meditation and yoga teacher, Lauren centers compassionate presence, unconditional love, and intention. Lauren has repeatedly been recognized as a trailblazer in the contemporary wellness movement.

Wellness Practitioner + Community Maven

Paige Willis

Paige is a St. Louis-raised, Chicago-based yoga instructor and lover of storytelling, curating playlists and playing violin. Through BGIO, Paige has been able to commune with and be empowered by other women of color. Her intention as an instructor is to help cultivate creativity, connection, and celebration of self within others.

Wellness Practitioner + Community Manager

Akudo Mez

Akudo is a Chicago based yoga instructor. The connection between community care and self-care as they relate to communities of color are a motivating force for her. Akudo uses yoga, mindfulness, and breath work to encourage health and wellness, self-discovery, and presence on and off the mat. Often her classes bring about feelings of joy, strength, and awareness. You can find her work with Black Girl In Om, Healthy Hood Chicago, and various pop-ups in Chicago.

Our Vision

BGIO inspires us.

by Lalah Delia, author of Vibrate Higher Daily

BGIO is a rock in my life. It has allowed for more remembrance of who we are as black women; we can be graceful, support our sisters, take care of ourselves, feel our feelings, and breathe easy while doing it. This is the reality that BGIO inspires us to live and thrive in.

Vital Sanctuary

Lindsey Day, co-founder & EIC of CRWN

Black Girl In Om is a vital sanctuary for today's Black woman, championing and guiding our journey toward healing and self-love. They've truly paved the way in modeling a nuanced and holistic approach to wellness, all with a beautifully refreshing aesthetic.

Reminding us of our power.

Sara Clark

Black Girl In Om is a rare gem as one of the few safe spaces specifically and mindfully curated for women of color. From wellness to wokeness, BGIO is a beautiful platform designed to remind us of our beauty and power while providing offerings that are accessible to all. What more could you ask for?

FAQ

  • How do you recommend I pace myself through this experience?

    During the first week, we encourage you to first map out how you will dedicate at least 15-20 minutes each day, to nourish yourself with our bonus content, press play on the audio offerings, and enjoy the pre-recorded live meditation and talk replays. We affirm that the more intentional you are about creating space daily to mindfully navigate this Journey the more you will receive. Integrating our content, and the awakenings and aha's that happen during our meditations + talks as part of your everyday life is strongly encouraged — healing, consciousness expansion, and general wellbeing result from consistency and commitment and you have hundreds of women journeying alongside you. That's powerful!
