About d’griot.
mission:
d’griot (“duh-gree-o”)amplifies more light in the ‘hood; offering transformational moments to be seen, dream, and cultivate resilient community wellness.
vision:
Named in honor of African storytellers and urban slang, d’griot is a healing space of story; stories of our ancestors, the magic in the present, and our intent for the future.
We are a community wellness cafe; a healing space that supports folks on their holistic wellness journey of the mind, body, and spirit. We offer natural medicinal products, nutrient food and beverage, gallery, creative events, coaching, retreats, and a space to inspire the whole family.
We are intentional about creating authentic beautiful spaces to share stories, activate our creativity, educate one another, map toward our goals, and support one another to see the beauty in ourselves to fly.
We are building spaces across Philadelphia that need access to community wellness cultivation as well as outside the city on land to offer rest, retreat, and re-connection.
