We are so excited to partner with Marlene at our upcoming Branch Out With C1: Tranquility and Tea for Superhero Moms. Join Marlene for an afternoon of holistic wellness inspired by Company One Theatre’s upcoming production of Black Super Hero Magic Mama at the Boston Public Library Roslindale branch.

Together, participants are welcomed to create an altar of remembrance and lasting love, and unwind with guided meditation, sound bath, gentle and restorative movement / stillness specifically designed for BIPOC mothers and caretakers, paired with a unique tea blend to take home and enjoy–created just for this event by herbalism artist Julissa Emile. Take an hour away from the demands of daily life to be in community with other mothers and caregivers and focus on YOU!
