Rooted in Relationship.
Nourished by Community.

Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. Our community care offerings create space to gather, reflect, and remember that we’re not alone. Whether through peer support, embodied workshops, or liberatory education, these are spaces for collective presence, shared wisdom, and meaningful connection.

PEOPLE WHO GATHER HERE

You don’t have to do this alone.

Our community care offerings are for those seeking connection without performance—spaces where presence is enough and healing is shared. Whether you’re feeling isolated, overwhelmed by systemic harm, or unsure how to move forward in a fractured world, you’re not alone.

These groups, workshops, and gatherings are rooted in the belief that healing is political, relational, and collective. They’re for those longing for belonging, shared meaning, and spaces where your truth doesn’t need translation.

These offerings are for you if you:

  • Long for care that feels rooted, real, and non-pathologizing
  • Are a therapist, caregiver, or community worker seeking spaces of replenishment and shared learning
  • Want practices that honour your nervous system, lived experience, and need for relational safety
  • Are navigating trauma, grief, burnout, or identity-based harm and want to do so in connection with others
  • Are curious to explore healing not as self-improvement, but as liberation—in community

PEER SUPPORT GROUPS

Come together in good company—because we were never meant to do this alone.

Peer support groups offer a gentle, grounded space for shared stories, mutual care, and slow, relational healing. These aren’t therapy groups—but they aren’t unstructured circles either. Facilitated by experienced practitioners, each group is intentionally designed to hold trauma, disconnection, and identity-based harm with clarity, compassion, & care.

Some are structured, closed containers where trust grows over time. Others are more spacious and reflective, centred on presence, creativity, and co-regulation. Across all formats, we prioritize connection over performance—and shared humanity over clinical labels.

What to Expect

You’ll be welcomed into a weekly 90-minute online space where presence matters most.

Together, we build self-trust and belonging through nervous system tools, creative expression, and gentle witnessing. Silence is welcome. So are your tears, laughter, and everything in between.

Current Offerings Include:

Healing Trauma Together
A 12-week group using Janina Fisher’s workbook to explore trauma integration in community.
Art for Integration
An expressive arts therapy group for meaning-making and inner connection.

Sessions are held online via Jane App. Groups are capped at 8 participants and meet weekly. Sliding scale and payment plans available.

Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in relationship—in rhythm—and in the quiet moments when we feel seen without needing to explain ourselves.
If you’re feeling the pull toward shared healing, we’d be honored to hold space with you.

Speaking Up, Reaching Out, Building Together

Our community education offerings invite deep conversation around healing, justice, identity, and collective care. From seasonal rituals and guest panels to embodied learning sessions, we gather to listen, reflect, and grow. This isn’t just information—it’s liberation, rooted in relationship.

We also collaborate with organizations, advocacy groups, and media outlets seeking trauma-informed, gender-affirming, and anti-oppressive insights. Whether through interviews, consulting, or co-created trainings, we bring care and clinical depth to every conversation.

  • Nonprofits, healthcare organizations, and universities
  • HR professionals, educators, and advocacy leaders
  • Community-based initiatives and collectives

What We Offer

  • Media and podcast interviews
  • Workshops on burnout, grief, trauma, and political fear
  • Guest lectures & lunch-and-learns
  • One-time or ongoing organizational consulting

Frameworks We Draw From

  • Somatic, trauma-sensitive therapy
  • Gender-affirming care rooted in lived experience
  • Disability- and neurodiversity-informed models

Fees

Standard speaking and consulting rates apply. In some cases, we offer alternative forms of exchange—such as testimonials, reviews, or permission to record events for future use.
