alchemizing Black women’s healing through
sensual and sexual expression.
why we exist
a restorative community connecting the dots between sensuality, sexuality, healing and wellness.
who are we?
at TWENTY NINE THIRTY we champion for the holistic well-being and embodied sensuality of Black women and women of color. we advocate for the right to sensual and sexual expression within these communities. and stand by the belief that pleasure can serve as a cornerstone for embracing a lifestyle of deliberate and sensual living— nurturing sound minds, serene bodies, rooted spirits, and flourishing souls.
our sacred community is dedicated to redefining the boundaries of pleasure and cultivating a space for healing, manifestation and self-discovery. through meticulously curated workshops, immersive events, and cutting-edge digital programming, we've established a haven where Black women can confidently rediscover their sensual and sexual identities. recognizing the effects of survival mode, we firmly believe that through shared learning and exchange, we can cultivate a deeper insight into the profound authority of erotic empowerment, fulfillment, and vitality.
our holistic ecosystem facilitates an ardent shift in one’s thought patterns and ingrained responses, enabling women to shed their traumatic narratives and embrace new and uplifting identities. our collaborative efforts lead us to uncover the true essence of what it signifies to be authentically alive and charged within our sensual body— paving the way to personal power, freedom, and liberation. our ultimate desire is to empower Black women to stand tall in their erotic power, leaving them erotically fulfilled, and charged.

community
creating community through authority and the honoring of our accepted power. knowing that we are in control of our lives and our experiences, both shared and collective. and that with respect, we are within our right to yield to our embodied ‘yes’ or our embodied ‘no’ so long as our actions don’t infringe upon the rights of another
