Program Description
Healing and reconnection after harm come in so many ways. So many ways, and waves, and cycles, spiraling through time. Survivorship + Sovereignty is an offering to survivors of s*xual violence as a space to continue our healing journeys in sacred, intentional community. A space for us to be, to breathe, to deepen into resource.

This program is intended to serve as a gentle container for healing, reconnection to self, and/or reclamation of personal sovereignty. Participants will be encouraged to work with their personal survivorship stories through weekly invitations of deepening relationships with plant kin, creative expression, embodiment practice and ritual. Coming together for our live calls, we will continue this work in sacred community through practice and ritual together. We will witness and honor each other as both survivors and as sovereign beings.

This program will run for six weeks, from the week of May 16 through the week of June 20.

Building Supportive Containers

This program is intended to be incredibly supportive for this sacred healing work. However, we can't always know what will activate us, or what might emerge needing tending. It feels important that we each prepare personal support strategies in addition to those built into our communal container, so that we can access them should the need arise.
Please share some information about any spiritual practice, resiliency strategies and values you hold sacred that support you. *
Do you have a therapist, practitioner or other professional support in place for your healing around survivorship? *
What are your support networks like? Do you have friends, family, significant others who you can reach out to if additional support is needed as you participate in this circle? *
