JOIN OUR COMMUNITY

NOW Collective creates intentional spaces where Black women can move, rest, and reconnect through wellness experiences rooted in community and cultural healing practices.

Why NOW

NOW stands for Namaste Our Way — a name that honors the power of living fully in the present while creating space for healing on our own terms. It reflects our commitment to mindfulness, cultural authenticity, and designing wellness experiences that meet us where we are — in this moment, and as we are.

Our Vision

We aim to shift the wellness landscape by setting a new standard — one that elevates Black women as innovators, leaders, and key voices in the global conversation on health and wellbeing.

Services

  • Virtual and in-person sessions rooted in movement, mindfulness, and cultural relevance. Led by certified Black women instructors, our offerings include yoga, meditation, sound baths, and more — with a growing suite of modalities designed to meet the needs of diverse bodies, energies, and intentions.

    Examples:

    • A private or corporate yoga class

    • Guided meditation or sound bath session

    • Breathwork or movement class led by a certified instructor

    • Virtual sessions or on-site activations for teams, conferences, etc.

    Format: Bookable sessions or offerings that are delivered by practitioners.

  • Beyond our formal training in yoga and mindfulness, we have a vast network of experts in the wellness space including cerified meditation instructors and licensed therapists who can offer custom social content, serve as guest panelists, and journalist contributors.

  • We’ve mastered event planning and cater our wellness experiences to the unique audiences that we serve. We offer holistic one-day or weekend long retreats that consist of yoga, mediation, mindfulness exercises, markets supporting local black-owned vendors, and more.

    Examples:

    • A 2-hour beachside wellness event with yoga, sound bath, and local vendors

    • A weekend retreat at a boutique hotel

    • A pop-up with multiple facilitators, panels, or holistic offerings

    • An anniversary celebration or collaborative community event with partners

"I loved that I was around beautiful black women moving their bodies with intentions on loving and healing themselves. I didn’t feel any judgement, I really felt spiritually moved. The entire experience was very relaxing and I felt so good when I left.”

"NBJ equipped me with the self sufficiency to find little moments of mindfulness, gratitude and community in my day, among my friends and family and throughout my life. I’m thankful for the tools NBJ instilled in me."

"I appreciate the honesty [In the stories included on The Flow] because it’s making me look at some patterns and things in my own life that I’ve shrugged off as minor/not worth of exploring.”
