What are each of the activities? What do they mean?

• A Guided Nap: The care team of specialists guides each participant to their chosen nap location, offering a durag or satin scarf to prepare for nap time. Each participating caregiver will be given the opportunity to be gently tucked in with a fleece and/or weighted blanket. Caregivers need to feel held to release the weight and be filled up.

• Medicinal DJ: Our DJs have been thoroughly trained in a healing modality and continue to be in regular practice with themselves to understand their purpose and community support role. They curate a playlist and immersive experience specifically for each caregiver audience.

• Sultry Performer: Pleasure is an essential part of caregiving. We work with performers who have a heart for service providers and understand their sensuality as a liberatory service.

• Grazing Board: As the caregivers awaken from their nap, they are often refreshed and hungry. We curate a diet-specific charcuterie board and other refreshments.

• Sacred Fire: In many traditions, fire represents transformation. Caregivers will be invited to write out what they are releasing and calling in. We offer a space for your caregivers to gather around the first to speak with each other and share resources.

• Tea Ceremony: An herbalist-formulated tea blend specifically for your caregiving audience. The caregivers will be taught the recipe and be given stories that support them to understand how each ingredient in the tea will support them and their body as a caregiver.

• Gift Set: This gift set is customized specifically for your audience and the areas where they need daily practice to build their capacity as caregivers. This may include physical items, educational materials, and an educational workshop.

What accessibility measures do you offer?

We prioritize Black LGBTQ+ leadership in every element of our business. We are sex-positive and abolitionist, focusing on ways to create the liberation spaces that we need right now.

For each 4head Kiss party, we conduct an intake interview for the accessibility needs of your community. On the event flyer, we include the accessibility information relevant to your community. In the past, this has included a COVID protocol for all community members to follow; sensory stimuli within the event; access at entrances, exits, and multiple levels; hybrid participation; and an RSVP form for all participants to list their access needs for a guided nap.

What types of specialized training does the care team have?

All of our team members are thoroughly vetted. We can provide bios for each hired care team member for your audience. An example is below.

Abundance Zaddy, MFA, BFA is a prophetic dreamworker and descendant of many Black Prayer Warriors, African priests and Turtle Island medicine people. Abundance has traveled globally studying with shaman, elders, and healers of the following traditions: African diasporic and Western Herbalism, Conjure, Hoodoo, Rootwork, Southern Folk Medicine, Pachakuti Mesa (Peruvian shamanism), Sonoran desert Curanderismo, Toltec - Chichimeca dreamplanting, and diasporic African and Japanese energy healing.

Where is the venue? How is the venue selected?

For groups of 4 or fewer, they will be hosted in a 2400 square foot, luxury 2-story residence in Atlanta, GA, in the historic neighborhood called Pittsburgh.

For groups between 5-20, our team will travel to your venue. We can search for and secure an appropriate venue or host in one of your community member’s homes.

The venues are selected based on the community's needs and are prepared to be a space for safe rest and release.

What is the maximum number of participants?

We can host 4 individuals in Atlanta and up to 20 in your location.

What is the methodology behind a 4head Kiss Party?

KindeziCare™: Our whole-family model is based on Kindezi, the Kôngo art of babysitting, a centuries-old tradition documented by Dr. K. Kia Bunseki Fu-Kiau who is credentialed in the following ways: Cultural Anthropology B.A., School Administration M.Ed., Library Science M.S., and Education & Community Development Ph.D. Most African Americans descended from enslaved Africans are of Congolese and Angolan descent. We offer KindeziCare™ as a cultural reclamation to our Black families. Kindezi teaches that each community member is a “living sun” and that all community members are responsible for each other.

Design Thinking: Design thinking is a non-linear, iterative process teams use to understand users, challenge assumptions, redefine problems, and create innovative solutions to prototype and test. It is most beneficial to tackle ill-defined or unknown problems and involves five phases: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype and Test. 4head Kiss is Black-Indigenous design thinking based in communal care: Indigenous African oral tradition shifts our worlds.

How does a party create resources that solve persistent economic instability and create generational wealth?

W3AVING W3BS (pronounced Weaving Webs) has a team of expert consultants who specialize in supporting entrepreneurs in building and scaling their businesses. Each team member has a vast network of professionals dedicated to wealth generation. The party catalyzes the caregivers to unwind, experience care, and begin articulating what they need. Our care teams are trained listeners who can activate feedback into strategy. We offer additional done-for-you services to support caregivers becoming social impact entrepreneurs who create generational wealth.
