In   the months    leading up   to the  debut of   ARS MORIENDI,   EFE activated a   series  of   unannounced   curbside healing sites    across Boston    neighborhoods   shaped    by   violence and  structural harm.    With   support  from UTEC’s   Center for   Training   and  Excellence  (TC4E),    Hood Lyfe,    Heal  The  Hood, and The Louis D.  Brown  Peace  Institute,   EFE  partnered  with Ebony  LePenn of  The Anthony  P. Clay Healing Project  and Meaka Brown of Babe’s Herbal Boutique, to transform  sidewalks into sanctuaries through sound bowl healing, herbal consultations, and x-press reiki offerings. We popped up unexpectedly, mirroring the ways in which violence and trauma symptoms tend to show up without warning in our communities. Except here, we popped-up offering moments of grounding, care, and collective restoration.
