About
Each session is a one-hour communal journey of healing and practice.
Our time together will introduce participants to an embodied understanding of how personal, collective, cultural and historical traumas and resources have impacted our individual and communal bodies. We will work with how and where traumas and resources shape our experience with one another, as well as our capacity to heal and return to our birthright state of embodied wisdom, connection, and wholeness. YOU ARE NOT DEFECTIVE, and you deserve to know that in your bones.
There is a reparative nature to these group consultations for bodies. Reparative has meaning on multiple levels. First, creating healing pathways of support to address the proactive and continuous injuries done by white body supremacy. Second, these reparations can move in a spiral like fashion in time, possibly repairing the impact of white body supremacy on our ancestors and on generations to come.
As our ancestor Nelson Mandela stated: “We don’t lose, we either win or we learn.”
