Community Healing
Because Collective Healing & Liberation Happens Together
It takes a Village.
Community Healing Rituals are essential for our path of individual, relational, and collective healing. They are also key in our process of re-indigenizing ourselves in the West. Please join us and be a part of helping us weave Collective Liberation!
