DETROIT - TelAve -- Detroit author and cultural entrepreneur Rahijaa D. Freeman will open the doors to an evening that cannot be replicated. The Sanctuary Preview Celebration is an intimate, healing experience built around Freeman's newest work, The Sanctuary Affirmation Deck: A Blueprint for Peace, Protection & Unshakeable Joy — 203 cards written in the darkest hours and offered to women as a hand in the dark.
The event will be held at the elegant Oh So Quaint, 21127 Mack Ave, Grosse Pointe Woods, MI, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

An Experience, Not an Event
This is not a traditional book launch. This is an orchestrated sanctuary — a rare, protected space where women are invited to exhale, to be seen, and to encounter the kind of truth that feels like relief. Guests will engage directly with Freeman in an intimate format that includes affirmation readings and guided personal engagement drawn from the very experiences that built the deck.

"The truth is the healing agent. The Sanctuary was born out of a necessity to protect my own peace — my marriage, my home, my joy. This evening is about handing those same tools of protection and surrender to other women who are standing exactly where I stood." — Rahijaa D. Freeman

Signature Elements of the Evening
The Sanctuary Suite. An intimate environment designed around one promise: "There is peace waiting for you in this room." Every detail of the space — the centerpieces, the atmosphere, the flow of the evening — has been lovingly prepared to honor that promise.

Somatic Release & Curated Movement.
The evening features a specialized somatic movement segment facilitated by a premier Detroit dance director whose work has been specifically curated to align with the cards. These intentional movements are designed to release what the body has been carrying, restore spiritual clarity, and create space for genuine healing.

A Guided Journey Through the Deck.
Freeman will guide guests through a shared affirmation experience — reading cards aloud, unpacking their meaning, and creating space for women to receive what they need most in their current season. This is not performance. It is ministry. Guests are invited to simply be present, open, and willing to receive.

Reflective Journaling.
Each guest will be given branded stationery and a thoughtfully crafted journaling prompt to carry the evening's intention deeper into their personal healing. This quiet, sacred moment is designed to anchor what has been received.

Signature Refreshments.
Guests will enjoy a handpicked menu of food alongside two exclusive signature drinks: "Free as a Bird," a vibrant nod to the bird of paradise, and the serene "Peaceful Paradise."

For those not on the primary guest list, the May 30th celebration offers a rare look into the burgeoning cultural vision of Freeman's upcoming venture, Nefertiti's Light — an upscale cultural coffee shop and art gallery coming to Detroit that will serve as a permanent sanctuary for community, creativity, and healing.
