DETROIT & NEW YORK - TelAve -- Community leader and entrepreneur Rahijaa Freeman announced "Soulful September Soil," a neighborhood rooted community healing and gardening event taking place this September in Detroit. Designed as a sanctuary for both the land and the soul, the event brings together mental health support, cultural arts, and direct community care to breathe new life into local green spaces.

As Detroit transitions into the autumn season, "Soulful September Soil" centers the therapeutic power of working with the earth. A therapist specializing in green therapy and community gardening will guide attendees through the grounding, restorative practice of planting and cultivation; a reminder that healing, like a garden, takes patience and tending. The afternoon will unfold to the sound of live smooth jazz, turning the work of restoration into a gathering worth savoring.

Attendees will also get a first taste of what's coming to Detroit's gathering spaces, with a preview of Nefertiti's Light, Freeman's upcoming cultural coffee shop and art gallery. Premium blends sourced with the same intention behind everything Nefertiti's Light stands for; will be served to warm volunteers as they plant fall blooming perennials and spring bulbs, leaving behind a living, growing legacy in the neighborhood long after the day ends.
