The experience follows an ethos of open healing and wholeness, focusing on the intention of deconstructing and rewriting a narrative that suggests "Black girls do not take of [themselves]." The Circle gives access to a curated monthly curriculum that embraces the topic of wellness and various spiritual themes. It also encourages personal growth and growth as a community, as well as consistent practice for maintaining a mindful healing journey. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Black Girls in Om also launched a [digital sister circle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/myhealthteam) called [Divine Disruption: The Circle 1.0](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/divine-canine-summer-essentials-kit). This initiative invited 250 Black women and women of color to engage "in daily journaling prompts, weekly thought exercises and guided meditation, newsletter recaps, and conversations with special guests."
