Unbound Workshop Series in Philadelphia
2026-01-17 11:00 - 13:30 | Braid Mill, 441 High Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19144, United States
A film-centered healing workshop guiding women through reflection, release, and reclaiming their inner truth.

UNBOUND — January: The Weight We Carry
A Cinematic Healing Workshop
January marks the opening of Unbound, a 12-month cinematic healing journey designed to support reflection, release, and sacred self-reclamation.
This introductory in-person workshop invites participants into a gentle, grounded space to pause, breathe, and acknowledge the emotional and spiritual weight they may be carrying—often silently.
At the heart of the experience is a guided screening of Blues Born of Fire, a poetic film inspired by Nina Simone’s Four Women. Through curated reflection, somatic awareness, and ritual, participants are invited to witness their inner landscape with compassion and curiosity.
This is not a lecture or performance.It is a guided experience—slow, intentional, and deeply human.
What to Expect

A welcoming, thoughtfully facilitated environment
Full film screening of Blues Born of Fire
Guided reflection and journaling (no pressure to share)
Somatic grounding and emotional check-ins
A gentle release ritual to close the experience

Who This Is For
This workshop is for women who:

Feel emotionally full, heavy, or stretched thin
Are seeking a reflective, creative path to healing
Are curious about film as a tool for self-understanding
Desire a safe, intentional space for inner work

No prior experience with the film or series is required.
January Introductory Pricing
January is offered at a special introductory rate as the launch of the in-person Unbound series. Returning participants are welcome, and each month offers a new lens and experience—even when revisiting the film.
What to Bring

An open heart
A journal (or one will be provided)
Comfortable clothing

Come as you are.You don’t have to carry everything alone.
