Most conferences raise hypertension, but this one seeks to do the opposite. The Sacramento Black Women’s Health & Wellness Conference returns after a successful first year in which it gathered 125 women to learn about managing their mental and physical health. This year’s theme is “Healing Invisible Scars” and the workshops and panels will focus on “overcoming trauma, relationship dynamics, cardiovascular disease prevention, and overall the mental, spiritual and physical protection of your heart.” The ticket price includes breakfast and lunch—“nutritious” meals, of course. 4610 X Street, www.sbwhwc.org.
