“Liberated relationships are one of the ways we actually create abundant justice, the understanding that there is enough attention, care, resource, and connection for all of us to access belonging, to be in our dignity, and to be safe in community.” 

― Adrienne Maree Brown, activist & black feminist author, from her book, Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good

Here’s something to strengthen our hearts and minds.  A new, ongoing group — forming now…

cultivating compassion in difficult times

This group is rooted in Liberation Psychology and designed for people impacted by current events; people of targeted & marginalized identities; neurodivergent people; artists & creatives; intuitive & highly sensitive people; and people in caring roles, including parents, caregivers, nurses, therapists, hospice workers, doulas, midwives, & teachers.  

We’ll explore practices for offering compassion and protective care to ourselves and others; we’ll work with fear and fearlessness, enjoy inspiring poetry & uplifting stories, and find solace in community based in kindness, clarity, and strength.

Please reach out for more information or email Chelsea here to register.
