Peace, Love and CommUNITY!!!
Welcome to the Wrap Your beYOUty Movement (WYBM). We are a small community-based 501c3 nonprofit arts organization committed to cultural restorative organizing.
My name is Pilar, and I am a firm believer in the power of self-love. It is the key to life. At WYBM, we LIVE the beauty by exemplifying the fruit of the Spirit. We gather at "Ritual Reunions" throughout the year that serve as a platform for self-love as well as collective love. We honor our Ancestors, we honor the living and the unborn...we celebrate our beautiful reflection of a rich and powerful history. Through the demonstration and active engagement of ancient indigenous artforms such as Headwrapping as an expression of love, Tibetan Singing Bowls, African and West Indian Dance, Spoken Word, Song and Drum, local Chicago Artists and Practitioners offer their time and talents to reach, teach and inspire.
From bonfires...to intensive workshops...to outdoor peace circles, we teach mindfulness and self-care with an emphasis on women & children within the context of the men/sons we love and support. WYBM is comprised of community members, artists and creatives who are committed to utilizing their gifts to celebrate cultural awareness, self-care and mindfulness in the midst of the current state of violence in Chicago.
