Workshops & Circles
Not everything that supports healing or practice happens in one-to-one sessions.
Some of it happens in community.
In reflection.
In spaces where we can slow down, question what we’ve been taught, and reconnect with ways of knowing that have been pushed aside.
These workshops and circles are designed for practitioners, helpers, and community members who are looking for something different—something more relational, more grounded, and more accountable than traditional training spaces.
What makes these spaces different
These are not lectures.
And they are not traditional group therapy.In many learning spaces, the focus is on acquiring more tools, more techniques, more modalities.
Here, we take a different approach.
In these circles, you can expect:
-
space to slow down rather than perform
-
reflection grounded in real experience, not just theory
-
attention to the nervous system and relational dynamics
-
consent-based participation (you are never required to share)
-
facilitated spaces led by trained clinicians

Gathering Our Medicines
Description: QTBIPOC closed space
This series is an invitation to step away from constantly seeking new modalities, and instead reconnect with the knowledge, practices, and relationships that already exist within us and our communities. Many practitioners find themselves overwhelmed or disconnected—holding insight, but still feeling stuck in their work. These circles offer space to gather what is already meaningful, and to explore how decolonizing practice can be lived—not just understood.
