    We believe that...

    Healing is a radically creative act. We intentionally reimagine what support can look like for queer, trans, and system-impacted folx. Whether through counseling, continuing education, or community organizing, we practice co-conspiracy toward healing justice and sustained liberation.

    Our Practices Uplift that...

    • Healing is both individual and collective.

    • Healing cannot separate the mind from the body.

    • Healing is not the knowledge of the few “licensed” healers, but rather inner, ancestral, and historical sources.

    • Healing can be a form of justice.

    Education is a form of power.

    We envision education as an invitation to practice equity, deepen reflection, and build skills that move us toward collective healing. These workshops are crafted for individual counselors, healing-led organizations, community and labor groups, and anyone committed to justice-driven change. Content is adapted for multiple learning styles.
