Healing Racial & Social Injustice Circle
Supportive community space that uses meditation & storytelling to process racial, social and economic oppression and inequality in all of its forms
Mixed identity cohort - Open to all
The centuries-old wounds of oppression and social injustice are alive in our collective consciousness, and with it comes a whole host of feelings.
Some of us feel angry, tired, and deeply wounded.
Having endured prejudice ourselves, why has not more progress been made?
Other of us feel sad, scared and overwhelmed.
Our eyes opening to history & parts of reality for the first time.
And then others of us feel confused, distraught and lost.
What is going on in this unique cultural moment and how can I be of service?
Whatever your feelings are, they’re welcome here and are an integral part of our collective healing process.
Join us in Circle to process your unique set of feelings related to oppression, racism, sexism, homophobia, structural inequality and this moment of immense cultural change and collective evolution.
NOTE: This Circle is open to people of all identities. If you’re looking for identity-specific community space to process in please feel free to contact me. I’m happy to share what resources I know of.
Trauma-informed
Rooted in healing-oriented practices from psychology, somatics & wisdom traditions.
Based in a community agreement
That makes the space conducive & supportive to as many as possible.
Grounded in A Commitment
To lessen the negative effects of as many oppressive ideologies as possible through a continual process of learning & unlearning.
Small by design so space fills up quickly!
“It is rare to have a place to pause, to listen to, and then voice our grief, our hope... [T]o bear witness to each other’s stories as we moved our attention from individual to individual. We supported each other even as we witnessed, signaling our resonance and heart-response in nonverbal ways. ”
What to expect:
We co-create the space together
Your participation makes the space what it is.
We get personal
Share and listen to each other’s emotions, insights and lived experiences.
We see each other
Literally :) Our video cameras are turned on.
“The experience of The We HeAl All Circle was powerful and provided connection. It was absolutely healing. I loved the structure and the space that was created to openly and honestly share our feelings, thoughts and emotions.”
This Circle is for you if:
You feel grief and anger about past and current instances of misogyny, racial injustice, homophobia, classism, ableism, and other forms of prejudice and violence.
You’re in tune with the complexities of how systems of oppression intertwine with our economic system, culture, identities and politics and are seeking space to unpack them.
You feel a deep call to be of service to social justice but don’t totally know how.
You’re at the beginning of your learning journey and are afraid to say the wrong thing.
You’ve been on a path of social justice for a while and feel alone.
You’re numb to the topic even though you deeply care.
You’re interested in hearing perspectives from a diversity of people.
You feel the collective pain body of racism, sexism and our history of structural inequality and seek space for that energy to be healed and transmuted.

Meet your Circle facilitator
A note of humility:
The work of social justice, cultural change and rehabilitating centuries-old patterns of inequality is messy, humbling and vulnerable. I am enculturated in a way that may not make me the right facilitator for every person. The space I offer in Circle is meant to be open and inviting to all who feel called to join and are committed to the work of constructively engaging with the topic of injustice, and is not meant to teach a certain discourse. I am here to learn with, from and alongside those who I’m in community with. I welcome suggestions, reflections and feedback from those who are willing to offer them. My request is that these be done in a manner of mutual respect, self-awareness, and a vision of our common humanity.
