What we practice

Whether the focus is releasing stress, processing conditioned beliefs, connecting spiritually, or igniting our confidence and creativity, these sessions are designed to help us create space for new emotions and experiences.

They are more than just a place to experience healing within a community; they’re an opportunity to learn emotional tools and techniques that you can carry with you day-to-day. ​​​

  • Practices to calm the nervous system’s stress response, empowering you to manage overwhelm as it arises and feel more grounded and present day-to-day.

  • Somatic and meditative techniques to process deeply held emotions—such as shame, grief, fear, and rage—often tied to past experiences and conditioned beliefs. Through self-compassion and creating inner safety, we move into a more empowered sense of self day-to-day.

  • Guided visualizations to reconnect with your aspirations and values, offering clarity, meaning, and confidence to explore and pursue your paths. Rooted in spiritual connection and service to community, we create a sense of gratitude and boldness to bring our dreams to life.

  • Stepping into a new life

    CLARITY.

    Connecting with a vision for your life that is meaningful, beautiful, and bold. Seeing how you want to live, what you want to fill your life with, what activities and creative passions you want to pursue, and who you want to spend your time with. And, understanding the missing pieces from where you are today to where you want to go.

  • GETTING PRESENT AND GROUND

    CREATING NEW HABITS.

    Meeting the present realities, unhealthy habits included, to understand the underlying emotions holding us back and what they’re holding us back from. What are we scared to pursue that keeps us grabbing for comforts? What do we need to hear and feel? How can we replace these habits with activities and actions that bring us joy and gradual growth?

  • WISE WORDS FROM OUR ANCESTORS

    EMPOWERMENT.

    When at a crossroads, before a leap of faith, or when feeling a bit lost or scared, we connect to those loved ones in our lineage who braved storms before us. They guide us through our subconscious fears and toward our inner confidence, conviction, and power. A caring, wise, strong presence alongside us we navigate an uncertain time in life.
