Collective Healing through Group Counselling (Circles of Care), Workshops and Learning Together
As a helper, I am committed to supporting our communities in walking sustainable and transformative pathways of healing. As an Indigenous kin, I’ve witnessed how hyper-individualism can disrupt the relational foundations of healing and belonging. I believe that when we come together in collective care—right here in the present—we lay the groundwork for healing that will sustain future generations.
As someone with lived experience of trauma, I recognize how systemic oppression and personal pain shape our ways of being, doing, knowing, and belonging. Healing is not just personal—it is also political, cultural, and collective. I believe in the power of community care, resistance to harm, and the resurgence of Indigenous and wholistic healing practices as necessary for meaningful change—within ourselves, our communities, and the systems around us.
Group Counselling:
Healing through Circles of Care
Counseling within circles of care centers a relational and collective approach, moving beyond traditional frameworks that often uphold hierarchies of knowledge. Too often, knowledge keeping and sharing have been weaponized—reinforcing systems of power that marginalize and “other” people. This dynamic tends to privilege Western, neoliberal, colonial, and capitalist models of knowing and doing, distancing us from community-rooted and collective healing practices.
Facilitating consulting in this way ensures that communities are equipped with meaningful knowledge, practical tools, and space for reflection—supporting real, transformative change. It honours lived experience as expertise and helps shift us away from harmful hierarchies toward deeper equity.
Circles of care create space for solidarity, advocacy, and collective growth—where communities can learn together, vision together, heal together, and hold space for one another.
Support Circles
Sign up for one of our support groups—collective care spaces grounded in relational healing, mutual support, and shared growth.
Each group centres relationship as a powerful source of healing while offering tools, skills, and resources to support your journey of self-care, empowerment, and connection. These are spaces for kin to be seen, heard, and held as they navigate their healing path—together.
Sliding Scale Pricing
Sliding scale options are available for all support groups to help ensure accessibility. We aim to reduce financial barriers so that everyone has the opportunity to participate and receive support.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality policies are in place to help create a safe and respectful space for all participants. These guidelines will be discussed during the first session and briefly revisited at the beginning of each gathering as a reminder of how we safeguard ourselves and our kin.
