Our nervous system, the mycelliul web of our ecosystem body, is both ancient and timeless. Ancient like the stars. Timeless like the earth. Still and moving like our lungs, breathing in what was also breathed by our ancestors and what will be breathed by those who follow and by those who follow them. The steady beat of our hearts—that which instructs our lungs toward movement and stillness—following its own rhythmic beat, connecting us to our ancestors, to our descendents and to the web of life. Deep (inter)connection reverberting through our ecosystem bodies, sometimes signaling safety (I belong) sometimes signaling threat (I am unsafe). Always wise. 

The work of liberation is not the work of one person. This is not work we are supposed to do alone. Liberation is a community magic, a community spell. It is the magic of relationship, of who we are together and of who we can (together) become. In the lineage of ancestral folk magics we inherit, this is an inheritance woven from a tapestry of beauty, belonging, freedom, connection, pleasure, collectivism, interdependence and love. It draws on the wisdom of relational repair after rupture, of what we know about healing in relationship and of us remembering, collectively, who we were born to be. 

Community Healing (Liberation) is what comes after the work of collective trauma metabolism. The Star after the Tower. The brilliance we are able to be after the true dismantling of all systems of domination and oppression. As social justice warrior Michelle Cassandra Johnson says, “We need to ask ourselves not just what we are dismantling, but what we are mantling, what we are creating.”

Consultation with us will help you:
~anchor your practice in relational neuroscience (and create more safety in the room) 
~bring a depth of curiosity to your practice that will transform stuckness with clients
~track your own nervous system in the work so that you can show up well for others
~compassionately meet and tend the parts of you that feel like an imposter 
~find and strengthen your clinical voice and amplify your access to well-held power
~apply principles of harm reduction & abolition in your practice while understanding practice ethics and meeting legal responsibilities as a licensed SWer
~integrate IFS, EMDR and Nature-Based Therapy in your practice (or draw from the wisdom of these beautiful healing modalities to more consistently achieve trauma metabolism)
~align your practice with your deeply held values of justice/liberation (again and again)
~increase nervous system flexibility in your own ecosystem body (so you can help clients reach for regulation in theirs). this is how we do the work.
