Online & In-Person Educational & Workshops Programs

While I find individual work to be an important step in our personal growth, I cherish collective processes even more for the connection and energetic power that can be created in a well facilitated group.

Participants in group work & courses can see themselves as part of an interdependent whole and sense their growth being supported and witnessed by more than just themselves.

Here below you can find my group offerings, upcoming and past courses and workshops.

November 1884 The Berlin Conference : When They Cut The Continent Like A Cake
November 1884 The Berlin Conference : When They Cut The Continent Like A Cake

The Berlin Conference was not only a political meeting; it was a performance of power over. The kind of power that fragments, silences and erases. It declared ownership over peoples and lands were never theirs to own. So this space is born out of remembrance and also out of refusal. It is an act of returning to what was taken, of reclaiming AGENCY, RESPECT AND ANCESTRAL SOVEREIGNTY that were denied to us when others decided our borders, our names, our fates.

Ancestral Responsibility: Facing The Colonial Genogram And The Death Of Empire

We will use the Soma and grief-centered practices to explore what it means to be shaped by empire, and to begin the slow work of metabolizing shame, and stepping into forms of repair.

Dyeing Before Dying: A Return To Indigenous Wisdom on Death
Dyeing Before Dying: A Return To Indigenous Wisdom on Death

This summer, I was in Benin and went to my paternal grandmother’s grave, visiting it for the first time since she died some years ago. Her grave is not just a stone in the ground of a cemetery, but a room within her family’s house, a place where life continues to unfold with death resting beneath us.

It takes a village to raise a child, but what if the village is traumatized?

This course is not a new parenting philosophy, nor a way to become a perfect super parent, nor even to add an extra burden to parents, but rather to facilitate our parenting and help us embrace imperfection. It is a nervous system and somatic approach to parenting that aims to provide parents and caregivers with a variety of tools to understand their child's unique needs, develop a relationship, attune to them, build safety in their bodies, that will help them become more resilient in the village.
