Healing Four Day Intensive — Reclaiming Our Own Transcendence

Accountability and Wellness Practice Circle

Healing Cycles of Harm

Four-Day Intensive

Healing is…

An emergent practice.

As we integrate the concepts and practices that have made our collective accountability circles effective since 2019, we respond to what comes alive in our circles with the people we are in practice with. Each collective journey has its own life and receives unique care fit to respond to the way each group is asking to deepen and grow.
A collective practice.

Our greatest strength consists of the many shapes each person takes when modeling what courageous vulnerability looks like. This opens up permission for others to take consent-based risks, tapping into their own unique medicine. As opportunities for brave practice surface, we dismantle a culture of isolation and punishment, by allowing ourselves to courageously see ourselves, to see others with compassion, and to be seen in our complexity.
A generative practice.

The practical nature of our circles allow what surfaces in our circle to ripple out to our relationships with ourselves beyond the workshop, relationship with loved ones, and shape the choices we make that might impact our communities. After having embodied new ways to “be with” themselves and “be with” others within our circle, capacity for interpersonal healing, conflict engagement, and attuning with our communities open up.

Who this is for.

This 4-Day wellness and collective accountability workshop is geared towards those who have been impacted by violence, caused harm, enabled harm, and those who find themselves in cycles of physical and emotional harm who want to explore their participation in such cycles.
Our work as facilitators engages our first-hand experiences in being impacted by harm as people who have caused, enabled, and survived it.
What we do.

We utilize embodied engagement, individual and group reflection, visual arts expression, psycho-education, and interpersonal practice opportunities to explore trauma wounds, integrate patterns of healing, and experiment with emerging ways of connection with one another.
This is an hands-on, immersive, relational experience. This is not a “top-down,” “expert-led”, or “talking head,” experience.
How we practice inclusion.

To keep our work accessible to parents and caretakers, we offer a child-centered version of the work. Children of adult participants can explore connection-centered practices through play and culturally relevant experiences to help them deepen familiarity with sensations of safety, affirmation, and compassion.
We also attune to each group’s access needs both in preparation for the experience and as needs emerge.
How we resource.

The benefit of an immersive, in person practice allows dedicated space for integration through rest and authentic, organic connection - practices that are hard to access when surrounded by the day-to-day contexts of survival and demand for productivity.
This offering is enhanced with deepened resourcing made possible through engagement with the medicine of land and natural elements.
Providing healthy, nourishing meals throughout the experience plays an important role in tending to our bodies, minds, hearts, and spirits.
