Workshops
There is goodness in learning and playing/practicing together that allows us to engage our intellects but then have a place to also allow that new information to trickle down into our felt sense
Outside of Belonging:
Join Rebecca Wheeler Walston (story facilitator and transracial adopteee) and I for a 3-week workshop. This interactive time engages the experience of growing up on the margins, both in our communities and sometimes within our families. The feeling of being perpetually on the “outside” is sadly so familiar. Our identity has been shaped by this experience and it has impacted the way we know connection or lack thereof. We will explore the roles of attachment, origin stories, culture, and relationship patterns. Come to experience resonance, synchronicity, and hope.
March 26, April 9 and 23 from 5:00pm-6:30pm PT
Healing Circles
Group work can be profound and beautiful because it allows us to experience resonance and solidarity with others who have shared in similar pain. Time and time again I witness group work creating faster and sustainable change and healing because it’s also a space where we build and are challenged in relationship.
Current Healing Circles:
Co-facilitated with Danielle Castillejo of www.wayfindingtherapy.com, the Trauma Healing Circle is an 8 week group for women and gender queer folks of color. Danielle and I recognize that there are not many spaces for our communities of color to speak about what we experience, suffer, and survive. Often we are left isolated and alone. We also recognize that our communities hold many healing insights that are often not valued by typical Western psychology. This group is intended to be a healing space that first and foremost offers "sight" and "holding". There will be an opportunity to bring individual and collective stories.
January 8-February 26, 5:00pm-6:30pm PT
