collective Healing is decolonial care
As a helper, I desire to help see our communities engage in sustainable and transformative pathways of healing. As an Indigenous kin, I have seen how individuality can hinder the relational aspects of healing and belonging. As a community member, I hold trust that when we engage in collective healing and relations in the current, we build a sustainable way of healing for the future generations. As a person with lived experiences of trauma, I notice how systemic oppression and individual trauma impacts our ways of doing, being, knowing and belonging. I believe that collective care, resistance to harm, and resurgence of healing pathways is vital for seeing systemic, societal and community-based change which enhances our personal well-being.
Transforming our ways of knowing, being and doing is a sustainable form of mental health, a trauma-inforemd way to support wellbeing, and a relational way to venture in healing.
COnsulting: circles of care
Consulting circles of care brings a relational and collective focus to the consulting frameworks. Knowledge keeping and knowledge sharing has often been weaponized or used to sustain hierarchies of knowing, being and doing which further marginalize or ‘other’ people. This also has often highlighted western neoliberal, colonial and capitalist ways of knowing and doing beyond collective healing. Facilitating consulting in this way assures the community get equipped with knowledge, tools, resources and self-reflection needed to see transformative change. It also celebrates lived experience as expertise to carry us from the harm of hierarchies and towards equity. Finally, it facilitates a space of solidarity and advocacy which allows communities to grow and heal together, learn together, vision together and hold space for one another.
Workshops
Workshops are meant to be engaging, practical, relational and transformative.
These workshops help us see the skills and resources which we already hold within ourselves and are connected with our goals. They build upon our pre-existing strengths, wondering, and learning to facilitate self-reflection, collective-reflection and communal growth.
We offer workshops in various central focuses and can talk with you on creating ones which are specific to what your community needs and/or desires.
