My personal experience tells me healing trauma is an ongoing, collaborative process. Trauma exists in the body's relationship to the world, we have never been individuals. When you hurt, I hurt. Healing then becomes a collective remembering, a trail leading home. Healing is messy, and releasing trauma without access to safe spaces and the trusting embrace of a loving community becomes near impossible. If I am anything to you other than a friend, I wish to be that space. I commit to the growing, nurturing, and weaving of community spaces & rituals that are trauma informed & orientated towards our collective heart's center. My healing begins with my body, and ends with the whole world as body.

To be embodied is to understand ourselves as undivided and reflexive body-mind-spirit-social-relational beings.The body gives us direct access to embodiment and, in so doing, becomes a locus for learning. Internal proprioception (cogni­zance of the movement and composition of one's own integrated body) grants us access to our emotions, sensations, and desires. To acknowledge these sensory modes of knowledge is to resist binary oppositions like subject/object, mind/body, and nature/culture.
