We would like to acknowledge and appreciate the Memphis 13 Foundation.

The Memphis 13 were 13 pioneering African American first-graders who desegregated Memphis City Schools in October 1961, facing immense challenges and isolation as they entered previously all-white elementary schools like Bruce, Gordon, Rozelle, and Springdale.

Their courageous non-violent journey to help desegregate Memphis schools remains a remarkable moment in history. They still make history today through their website run by a member of the Memphis 13.

At this time of year, life tends to speed up. The to-do lists grow, the days get shorter, and our bodies often feel the contrast. In East Asian medicine, winter belongs to the Water element—a season of conserving energy, resting deeply, and nourishing the roots.

In the middle of holiday demands, it’s easy to forget that slowing down even a little helps keep us grounded, clear-minded, and resilient.

We've expanded our schedule to help you take care of yourself!
