Spiritual care for Black people who are tired of surviving.
We’re not here to fix you.
We’re here to remind you that you’re already whole.
The Black Altar is a sacred space for rest, ritual, and realignment—created by and for Black people.
We host free healing experiences like sound baths, grief circles, and tarot sessions led by trusted Black practitioners rooted in ancestral wisdom.
You don’t need to “believe” in anything to show up.
You just need to be open to slowing down, feeling deeply, and being held.
What We Offer
Sound Baths
Come lie down, release the noise, and let the frequencies do the work.
Grief & Joy Circles
Feel what you’ve been carrying. Celebrate what’s still blooming. All of it belongs.
Tarot + Astrology
Spiritual tools to help you listen to your inner voice—and your ancestors.
Public Rituals
Collective moments to honor change, transformation, and cultural memory.
Why Free?
Because healing shouldn’t be gatekept.
Our work is funded by public programs and community support—so you don’t have to pay to be cared for.
TL;DR
We make space for Black people to rest, reconnect, and remember who they are.
✨ No dogma. No judgment. Just care. ✨

The Black Altar is black woman led. In working with and for black, indigenous, people of color, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, queer, and similarly identified communities in King County, The Black Altar acknowledges that white supremacy and settler-colonialism are enduring systems of hierarchy, division, and exploitation. These systems create significant inequities in our communities, but they do not operate in isolation. Oppression is mutually constructed based on categories including sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, race, ethnicity, indigeneity, social class, disability, religion, and immigration status. Just as all forms of inequality are interconnected, so are all forms of justice. Working for racial justice, indigenous sovereignty, economic justice, and all forms of social justice are part of the core mission of the The Black Altar.
The Black Altar works on the unceded, traditional land of the Coast Salish Peoples, specifically the first people of Seattle, the Duwamish People, original stewards of the land, past and present. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the Duwamish Tribe. We are aware that this land was taken from indigenous peoples violently – without agreement, consideration, or compensation. We acknowledge our responsibility to protect the natural environment.
To effectively support all people within the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ community, The Black Altar commits to proactively working in solidarity against white supremacy, settler-colonialism, xenophobia, ableism, capitalist exploitation, religious bigotry, and all forms of cis-heteropatriarchy.
