Treat us and yourself with care.
We want to co-create communal mental wellness thriving with you.

This small business is lead by a retired {decade long} mental health therapist who co-creates , affirms and celebrates out-of-the ordinary communal wellness experiences.

OUR work is done for whole healing communities honoring the {centuries long} communal mental health expertise of our black, brown and indigenous to the land ancestors.

we give credit to our communities for our pre and post colonial trauma healing knowledge.
amplifying their methods of gathering, playing, feeling and healing.

 
 

Why Gather, Play, Feel to heal?

Our mental health expert ancestors knew:


1. Gathering -Coming together vulnerably and intimately each day was the best way to make sure all of us were authentically checked on & none of us were so extremely independent or self sacrificing [counter-dependent or co-dependent], we lost real emotional balance.

2. Playing - Signaled to the body/brain that the human was safe with a central nervous system available to learn new skills- not cycling from thought to thought, task to task, goal to goal, need to need, crisis to crisis.

3. Feeling -Being in daily feeling acknowledgement, self-validation, experession and release allowed the ease of healing through relationship self and therefore others.

healing professionals were to be nourished by the whole community and enjoy boundaried, affirming and sustainable rest, ease and play based creative lives - as the way whole tribe / society thrived.

we assert:

everyone is a healer. a harmer. a helper. and sometimes hurting. depending on the skills and support we have and our our compassionate , emotionally intelligent daily awareness in relationship with self.

We show you what that can look like, remind you that our ancestors were doing it as experts the whole time & encourage you to look at mental health with fresh eyes to make wellness more sustainable for everybody in our communities -including valuable and important you.

Our community healing principles :

How we relationship with each other impacts how we relationship with ourselves
How we relationship with ourselves impacts how we relationship with each other
How others relationship(ed) with us impacts us.


Recognizing we have the choice to thrive and not just survive begins at any moment we choose to be in a full-time, loving, commited relationship with self.

This includes protecting our brain’s need for the regular nourishment, mental wellness skill building and emotional regulation - that comes from boundaries (kept promises to self) about our pleasure, enjoyment and play.
