We aren’t looking for an escape from the world, we’re building an unshakable inner freedom to navigate it. 🤎

We gather in nature to root out societal conditioning and reclaim ancestral ways of knowing. It’s about learning to tend to ourselves with fine-tuned accuracy, so we can breathe through the increasingly harsh waves of life and always remember how to care for ourselves and each other.

Help us nurture this space for play and ritual by donating to our nonprofit’s scholarship and production fund. 🌱

Maybe you can’t make it this year, or you aren’t the demographic we’re serving, your contribution helps make this possible for someone else who needs it. ✨

On July 12th, 2026, musicians, artists, and all their inner children gathered at Lefferts Historical House in Prospect Park for the 4th annual Pan Afro Wisdom (POW) Festival. Why? To repair their imagination in pursuit of healing their reality.

Inspired by cultural gatherings like the 1969 Pan-African Festival of Algiers, the Divine Times Collective launched POW Fest as a space where, through free collaborative healing workshops and laughing meditation with featured talent Laraaji, Black, queer, and trans attendees redefine their relationship with recreation.

Check out the full video on the Third Place YouTube channel, Linked in our bio :)
