Critical Somatic Practices to Support Intersectional Justice
It’s been a humbling experience using mindfulness over the past several years as a stabilizing presence in my efforts toward witnessing, understanding, naming, and dismantling structured, gendered violence and I’m honored to be invited to present on the topic at this year’s Peace and Justice Studies Conference. Our presentation is titled Critical Somatic Practices to Support Intersectional Justice. I will be presenting with my professor and Chair, Dr. Joy Meeker (Saybrook University), and co-presenters, Rasheeda Ouedraogo, and Alexander Hall.

Rooted to Rise, Live!
We long to be of service in these troubled and troubling times yet we often feel overwhelmed and powerless by the magnitude of it all. We will learn practices, ways of being, and relating to the world that: Build PERSPECTIVE and understanding around cultural conditioning. Reweave and GROUND us into the more-than-human world. RECLAIM and reconnect us to the wisdom of our bodies. Bring clarity and INTENTIONALITY to our heart’s deepest longings for ourselves and the world. Explore and access our authentic PLEASURE and POWER in the present as fuel for igniting our purpose.
The Invisible Black Eye
In this series, in trauma-sensitive ways, we will navigate the terrain of recognizing and acknowledging individual, familial, and systemic cultural dynamics of abuse and oppression with the intention of easing the grip these dynamics have on us so that we can live the more liberated and vibrant lives we were born to live.
Mindfulness for Resilience & Stress Reduction Program
There is a way to thrive and grow, not just survive during times of stress. This webinar will offer tools, practices, and techniques that enable participants to feel a greater sense of stability, strength, calm, and resilience. Participants will learn to connect to their own inner resources to promote clarity and effective coping skills.
Transforming the Heart
We’ve been raised in a system that perpetuates toxic individualism and fear of the “other”. When we come to terms with where we are right now by expanding our understanding of cultural dynamics, we heal multi-generational wounds. We’ll expand our perspectives on diversity, inclusion, equity, and the 3 Rs of Justice.
Mindfulness Programs through NCEFT
In the whole of my teaching life, there has never been a more urgent need for programs such as these. There is a way to thrive and grow, not just survive during times of stress.

Linking Arms, Rising Together
When women come together in solidarity, there’s no stopping what we are capable of. We need each other now more than ever before to witness one another, to elevate one another, to honor and appreciate each other. We are witnessing the fallout of the 1000+ year reign of patriarchal terror. We are in a time of reclamation when so much is possible when the cultivation of women’s wisdom is what we have been waiting for. We are who we have been waiting for. It’s the way we rise together that goes against the internalization of cultural narratives that pit women against one another. We’ll build a whole new way, together.
Getting Grounded Body Awareness Workshop
Connected Heart Body Awareness Work is an active meditation technique that uses our basic human faculty and capacity to ground our awareness in the sensations of the body to regulate our nervous system and release emotional debris. It is part consciousness-altering, part trauma processing, and part community building. The experience moves stuck energy and facilitate the release of intense emotions by learning how to honor, acknowledge, + appreciate our experience as it is. Practices of radical self-acceptance can help you to find a home in your body + heart.
Rising Women Workshop with Louiza Doran
There’s never been a more important time on this earth for free thinkers and change agents to emerge. When we allow awareness to illuminate internalized cultural programming, oppression, and conditionings, what we think, believe, feel, and know to be true emerges with great clarity. You learn that you can deeply trust your own embodied experiences and the truth of your own humanity.
