You get to create a world that works for everyone. What is yours to do is guided by your thoughts, ideas, and intentions. Healing as an aspiration, awareness, and practice offers us the tools to return to our wholeness, shield us as we attend to thriving, and respond to what activates separation.

Healing is the work of coming home to ourselves again and again. Because oppression is persistent, healing must be persistent and on-going. Doing equity works requires continuous healing from the effects of the many faces of oppression that emerge from a foundation of white delusion, racial capitalism, settler colonialism, and cis-hetero patriarchy. You must interrupt and disrupt these pillars of oppression in order to tap into your resiliency, access your agency, and express the fullness of your humanity. It is from this place that we live into the values of justice and liberation and root ourselves to the interconnectedness and collective humanity which pave the path we will travel home.

We believe that healing must be prioritized as we work collaboratively towards transformation and liberation; it cannot wait until our systems are redesigned. Attending to your individual healing is essential and allows us to then lean into and reconnect to our collective healing. In this institute, we draw from the wisdom of Queer, Black and Indigenous ancestral healers to explore how to center and integrate processes for ongoing individual, interpersonal and collective healing when working, collaborating, and designing for equity.

In this 2-day institute, you will be invited to:

• Explore why healing is necessary and what it can look like at the individual, interpersonal and collective level
• Flow through states of awareness - acknowledgement - acceptance - agency
• Experience and contribute to a healing space that centers resilience, inherent wholeness, ancestral wisdom, and collective care
• Build connections across multiple healing frameworks and modalities to support collective and individual healing

Who should attend this institute

Anyone seeking to deepen their inside-out equity leadership work by attending to their own healing in a supportive community.

We provide an advance draft of our slide deck 24 hours before the institute. Breakfast and lunch will be provided on both institute days.

We are intensely focused on humanizing our spaces. We focus on interactivity and connection by providing frequent body breaks, and attending to learning, practice, and healing in community.

In an effort to create accessible spaces for everyone, we ask that participants refrain from wearing scented products such as perfume/colognes, hair products, cosmetics, and scented lotions while attending our event, as these products can trigger serious health issues for those with fragrance allergies and/or chemical sensitivities. For more information on being fragrance-free, visit this Fragrance Free Toolkit.
