“Many of us want to do good, but we’re so afraid to say the wrong thing that we don’t say anything. Meanwhile many people of color who do speak up get exhausted. I teach people of all races how to feed their spirits and have joy while they stand for racial justice so they’re not exhausted or scared.”
The Live webinar is 12:00 PDT/3:00 EDT on Tuesday, June 13th
As we engage in co-creative partnership with Nature, old beliefs and wounds can emerge to be healed. Connecting with trees or water, we become aware that our ability to thrive is predicated on the wellbeing of our kin, both human and more-than-human. In this dance of healing, awakening, and embracing our potential, we realize that our human relations need some attention. Sometimes we can feel overwhelmed, not sure where to start, or even afraid to dig deeper.
