We are a serious holistic health education organization with communities in dire need of what we offer.

After COVID-19, we have been getting calls for practitioner referrals, but only sometimes in the client's city or state of need. We need practitioners in all 50 states, so do consider joining!


Our holistic health practitioners are eager to assist you with your health and wellness. Below is a link to our Member Holistic Health Practitioners. They will get you going and hold your hand to get the results you want for yourself.

Contact: 844-829-2296


Consider doing a seasonal detox. We have all made some indulgences, so it's time for a detox. Book your colon therapy appointment, do your juicing, and possibly a week or two of natural living so the body can release all the junk. If not, the body will self-detox as a cold, flu, or whatever your health issues are. Don't hesitate to contact our member holistic health practitioners and wellness centers if you need any guidance to detox. It must be done correctly, especially if the patient is diabetic or on medication.


While in many parts of our nation, the COVID-19 variant is rampant, let's keep our immune system in tip-top shape with lots of alkaline water and vitamin C & D + Multivitamins for starters!



Please get in touch with your local holistic health practitioner for any suggested herbs, supplements, and dietary clean-up for wellness and prevention. Contact our family of practitioners during COVID-19 for help and support.

Obituary

Baba Surya Passes



It is with pain in my heart that I announce the passing of Baba Surya. He passed away peacefully in his sleep yesterday at the age of 91 years. He was a fixture at the WESPAC office for many years when we were located at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. location in downtown White Plains. Below you will find some information about his life. Additional information will be shared on our website and socials.


Nada Khader

WESPAC Foundation Director

http://www.wespac.org


Al Surya Peterson was born in White Plains and raised at his grandparents’ house on Saxon Woods Road in Scarsdale, New York, in what used to be a Black Community that was formed in the 1800s.


His grandfather took care of the horses at the Rockefeller estate in Pocantico Hills.

You can learn more about his family history by listening to this oral history interview with Surya by the White Plains Library: https://whiteplainslibrary.org/2015/07/people-stories-oral-history-project-al-


IN HONOR OF THE ASCENDED ONE BAABA PA-UR

HIS FAMOUS KALE SALAD RECIPE

We’re 17 Years Young! 🎉

Today, we proudly celebrate 17 years of empowering our community through holistic health, cultural wellness, and collective healing.

Thank you to all our members, supporters, and healers who’ve been part of this incredible journey. We’re just getting started! 💚🌱

Let’s continue to build, heal, and rise—together.

MUT ZAKKIYAH MADYUN HEALERS HEALERS SUPPORT INITIATIVE


Because of the increasing number of Bros/Sis in our Kemmunity that we are losing to death, following a period of battling a serious illness, in circumstances where the AHH Kemmunity-at-large was unaware that the individual was even sick, a few of us have been having the discussion that WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING to address this crisis.  


We've decided that as members of the African Holistic Health Chapter, we need to make it our responsibility to look after our members’ health and vitality when called upon, as 'WE ARE OUR BROTHERS' KEEPERS.'  As most of us are students of the teachings of Heal Thyself, Smai Tawi, and Dr. Afrika, we must remember that our healing is in our culture. We have many Healers in our midst who are qualified to successfully tackle the progression of almost any illness or disease, even Cancer.  We cannot let Bros/Sis get sick, disconnect, and hide in the bushes.  We have to rise and speak on their behalf.  


To this end, we have created a Committee: WE ARE OUR BROTHERS' KEEPER. Becoming a member of this Committee simply means that as Healers, you commit to offering your healing skills, tools, and knowledge to aid the Bros/Sis of our Kemmunity who might be suffering from a chronic, life-depleting illness. Initially, that means offering them a free, confidential Health Consultation at the time of their health crises. Once it is confirmed that their health crisis is stable and they have had the free consultation, then all services rendered by any of our AHH Healers will be charged the going rate of each Healer. All Healers who participate on the Committee must be in Good Standing (membership dues paid and current).


If you opt to participate in this Committee, you will be regarded as a Healer-in-Residence and accept the responsibility to make available your healing skills, tools, and knowledge to aid the Bros/Sis of our Kemmununity who might be suffering from a chronic, or debilitating, health crisis.


Zakiyyah MaaKhepera-Ast Madyun has made herself available to head this Committee. All AHH Members who wish to register should complete the Registration Form and submit it to Zakiyyah, via email: theherbalist1750@gmail.com



With Love, Gratitude, and Respect, 

ThAnkh You & Much Mrr (Myrrh/Love)

The relationship of a People to its History is the same as the relationship of a Child to its Mother. Anonymous

Dr. Afrika Speaks on the Death of Black America
Remembering him three years after his passing
As a Chapter, we promised to keep his work alive. He taught the community for many years to heal with nature. We have done an excellent job, but many students need to start using their healing skills for many reasons. He tasked the Chapter to be a safe space to help build confidence and incubate those needing support to develop their practice. Due to Covid, many requests come for holistic health referrals, but we need more practitioners.

Dr. Afrika wanted us to support and care for each other as students, practitioners, wellness center owners, and teachers. If you can work with teams of practitioners, there is a place for you in the Chapter. If not a practitioner, we are always in need of volunteers.

Dr. Llaila Afrika sanctioned us to form a Chapter. He intended for us to "Make it so" our mission of holistic health education in communities of color, and we have tried not to disappoint; we hope you agree.

Do consider joining our team!

THE WELLNESS GALAXY NEWSLETTER HIGHLIGHTS

CEO & Founder

JOBS IN WELLNESS


Create More Income Doing Work That You Love and that Inspires You!


In 1981, when I first graduated college, my first job was a manager at a staffing agency. I majored in Health Administration because I knew that I wanted to eventually run my own business. It gave me pure delight to call up all of the people that I knew and register them to work to supplement their income while caring for others. 


I think it’s amazing that what will likely be my last job here at The Wellness Galaxy will be an assignment that creates the same result.


In this newsletter, we will introduce you to a new concept Agency offering part-time jobs that blend health and wellness. 


When I became a nurse almost 40 years ago, there was no internet, no holographic, state-of-the-art imaging machines, and very few holistic career options. 


In addition to my current work in hospice, which is gratifying in itself, I have traveled a career path that still fulfills and energizes me. 


Next year, I will celebrate 40 years of nursing that started in newborn nursery/Pediatrics and will end with Hospice.  


This journey is one of the magical stories that we will share with you in our Anthology

                      

“The Future of Wellness is Here”  


So I have to ask, how would YOU feel if you could create work that you love, inspires, and fills you up by incorporating natural healing practices and skills? 


At The Wellness Galaxy, we love to train healing facilitators and love even more to support them in finding gainful employment using their healing arts skills. 


We’re excited about all of the wonderful job opportunities that we have discovered and that are being created.


Over the past year, The Wellness Galaxy has partnered with Empowerment Support Services Group LLC., the Department of Health, and Guided Steps Inc. to create a wonderful opportunity for holistic professionals to earn income in many ways. 


You can also participate in FAST-TRACK training for new skills to earn supplemental income or extra money for special occasions.


The Fall Equinox is the time of HARVEST—it’s time to reap the harvest you have been sowing in your wellness career.



EMAIL US IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN WORK OR FAST-TRACK TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES: 


  • Part-time healing work in home care 
  • Part-time healing work in a community setting 
  • Part-time healing work at retreats and health fairs 
  • Learning about products and services. 
  • A FREE 8 DAY, PCA Certification Training 
  • A FREE 15 DAY, HHA Certification Training 
  • A 30-DAY Wellness Doula and End-of-Life Doula Training 
  • 1-year LPN or 2-year RN Licensure Program. 
  • Reserve a copy of the Anthology book/workbook

About the Practitioners:


Life Strength & Health was born out of a vision that poor gut health can negatively impact the quality of your life in so many ways. If you are able to tap into your body's natural healing abilities you can you can unlock the key to feeling your best and overcoming your health challenges.


We have worked with thousands of clients over the past 20 years and one of the most common causes that we noticed with our clients was the direct connection between their health challenge and their gut health.


While they understood that adopting a holistic method for improving their well-being was the right path, they had essentially been left to speculate about the steps to take. They had been following current health fads or consulting with various healthcare professionals, but unfortunately, none of these efforts had yielded positive results.


We understand that each and every one of us is a unique being. A health approach that works for one person may not necessarily work for another person. That is why we take a personalized approach to gut health. This has allowed us to have coached thousands of people just like you to feel better and improve the quality of their lives by improving the quality of their health.


So if you're ready to feel better and enhance your life's quality through a customized gut health approach that caters directly to your health requirements, allowing you to sidestep feelings of being overwhelmed and frustrated, and instead achieve health triumph and an improved well-being,

About the Practitioner:


Would you like to feel more vibrant and energized? Look younger? Transform your dreams into your reality? Transform family and personal traumas into healing opportunities? Create an “innerstanding” of what your body and food are trying to tell you? Create a more tranquil home and workspace that is also toxic free?


My name is Nfr KaRaa. I have been a licensed clinical social worker for almost 40 years. My background has included working as a school social worker for the NYC public schools in the Bronx while maintaining a wholistic private practice with children, adults, couples and families. I implement a variety of traditional and wholistic approaches. My professional training includes an undergraduate degree in psychology at The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, M.D. (’79) plus a masters degree in social work at Hunter College School of Social Work in N.Y.C. (’81). I am also certified in hypnotherapy, play therapy, polarity (an energy- based healing system that includes reflexology, cranial sacral, dream interpretations,utrition, etc.) reiki, pranic healing and neurolinguistic programming (NLP). I have also been trained in aromatherapy, naturopathic, crystal work, sound therapy, EFT (aka tapping) and Queen Afua’s sacred woman program. I have also studied our Kemetic history/mdw ntchr (aka hieroglyphics) and African martial arts called Kupigana Ngumi. The trainings for these wholistic techniques were by experts in the wholistic community such as Dr. Llaila Afrika, Dr. John Beaulieu, Rev. Phil Valentine, Mfundishi Jhutyms, Jeff Noble, Dawson Church and other trainers through the Open Center in NYC.


I have also traveled throughout various countries in Africa, Europe and Asia, the Caribbean, Canada and across the United States. I have always felt it is crucial to travel and study in a diversity of places in order to be more culturally sensitive to the people you are working with. 


I provide experiential and didactic presentations/consultations/environmental assessments for corporations, community organizations, spiritual organizations, rites of passages, etc. I also provide individual/couple/family sessions implementing a combination of techniques from my traditional clinical and wholistic trainings. I also infuse aspects of cultural awareness; raw food/vegan food preparation; making your own natural deodorant/facial astringents/hair & body oils; conscious shopping demonstrations and instructions plus transforming your home to be green/people friendly as well as be your own personal oasis. I only use natural based companies in my practice such as Young Living Essential Oils, Shaklee natural based supplements, household cleaners and personal hygiene products as well as alkaline water machines.


I share my story above as it is related to my role in serving our village as a person who is equipped to support those who are inspired to create a new “life map.” I am the translator for what the interaction of your mind, body and soul are trying to communicate to you through “dis-ease,” the foods you crave, challenges in relationships with family members, partners, children, friends and co-workers. My diverse background allows me to help guide you through the obstacles between you living life to thriving and flourishing in your life to its fullest potential!


Give yourself the gift of growing into your greatest you!

ABOUT THE PRACTITIONER:


When Dottie was just a child, she remembered noticing how her family in North Carolina treated various illnesses and sickness with natural herbs, foods, juices and other homemade remedies. There was very little dependence on a doctor and this sense of continual gleaning from the earth sparked Dottie’s interest in natural healing. She began to look at other cultures around the globe and acknowledge many of their ancestral practices that seemed to work rather well for them. Before transitioning into eternity, Dottie’s mother strongly encouraged her to further her education and study more about nature’s gifts.


Upon moving back to New York, Dottie did just as her mother had advised. She attended college and gained all her certificates to become a Holistic Practitioner. Dottie is well versed in various areas of holistic health including an array of therapies, Iridology, Reflexology, and Advanced Pranic Healing Reiki. What makes Dottie different is her desire to share her ever expanding knowledge with others through continuous study and good conversation. She truly seeks to see clients and customers receive the best that nature has to offer and undoubtedly believes that natural products/services produce naturally beautiful results. Thus is the passion behind Earth Wellness360.

Recovery…the other DARK MATTER

by Brother Jaha Jah

Rise in Excellence Fellow Therapists,


This writing is a brief reminder of the importance of creating a recovery mindset for our clients and ourselves during our practice of therapeutic service. To some degree, all the modalities that we perform for clients is to get their mental processes relaxed and unfettered to be able to heal/recover. Basically, helping them NATURALLY use their serotonin stores in their bodies to be able to convert to melatonin in the absence of light to produce the ‘sleeping state.’


In this sleeping state, the body’s energies, or rivers of sekhem/sakham, settle to a slower movement as they wave away from the limbs and back into our core. In the core, our organs cleanse/replenish the blood, and our brains pick up this signaling of activity drawing reflection from our memories of the day.

Our natural circadian rhythm is designed for us to be active physically in the waking world with the presence of light or Ra and to be active in the spiritual (or whatever abode is reached) in the presence of darkness (which is not an opposite of light but the space where is sparked). When this rhythm is disrupted, recovery is thrown off as well as the balance of living in these levels of vibrations and realms. Organs begin to vie for dominance over one another rather than work in harmony. The cessation of movement in muscles and relaxation of motor neurons continues pulsing creating sensations of anxiety and unrest.

And the list goes on and on.


So, you see, the importance is creating a recovery mindset for our clients and ourselves is paramount in our practice. Sure, it is important to rectify knots in muscular tissue or remove blockages in organs or even to restore fertility and sexual health. However, if the goal of sleep/rest is not the mainstay of our focus, we may find ourselves in a boutique practice of therapeutic services swaying to the whims of trends of gadgetry and so-called new wave protocols.

Here is a chatGpt results using this prompt ‘define recovery as it pertains to healing of the body and reduction of anxiety’:

In terms of healing the body, recovery involves:

  • Cellular repair and regeneration following injury or physical exertion
  • Reduction of inflammation
  • Restoration of muscular, skeletal, and organ function
  • Replenishment of energy stores and nutrients
  • Integration of rest, hydration, nutrition, and therapeutic interventions (like massage, physical therapy, or sleep)

In terms of anxiety reduction, recovery involves:

  • Calming the nervous system—especially downregulating sympathetic (fight or flight) activity and supporting parasympathetic (rest and digest) function
  • Re-establishing emotional regulation and a sense of internal safety
  • Cognitive reframing of stressors, trauma, or anxious thoughts
  • Building resilience through mindfulness, therapeutic support, or grounding practices
  • Stabilizing mood and improving sleep, focus, and interpersonal connection

Core Principles of Recovery:

  • It is not linear; there may be setbacks and plateaus.
  • It requires intentional self-care and support.
  • It prioritizes balance, restoration, and gradual reintegration into daily life and function.
  • It can be accelerated or supported through holistic strategies—such as massage, movement, breathwork, nutrition, community support, and time in nature.


Gently teach your clients as well as yourselves the ability to quietly GO THE F*** TO SLEEP. I only put that there to jolt and to tap into that frequency of thinking if you happen to be riding on that wave. Otherwise, I will say it this way, train yourself to embrace rest effortlessly when the body calls for it or nature demands it of you.


Thank you for your time in reading this early rising examination I made while sipping quietly on peppermint tea and holding my spine in a neutral position as I typed.


Rise in Excellence, this is Jaja with 331 Wellness Strategies, we create organic systems for your organic system. As massage practice we do not HACK the body’s ability to heal, we simply REMIND your consciousness about the body’s ability to heal.

I’d like to introduce you to one of my favorite success stories, shared by one of my previous NLP students.

In this video, you will hear the story of a woman who used NLP to harness her inner power to deal with a terribly traumatic experience.

On the next page, you will also find other videos from previous students sharing their NLP success stories. 

How can you use NLP to increase your own personal power?
