Can we acknowledge how difficult these last 2 years have been? What have you learned about yourself and others? What needs integration in order to move forward?

What shifts have happened in your life in these pandemic years? What have you learned about yourself? Have you processed all the craziness we are going through individually and collectively? What needs witnessing and releasing?

Inspired by elders who emphasize the importance of healing in community, this group ritual will be a practice of holding safe space for each participant to share their experiences. As the saying goes, 'What doesn't get expressed gets suppressed." Our body holds these stories. Come heal and move towards thriving in these difficult times. If you've been wanting to work through the stress of the pandemic this will be an invaluable community practice. You'll take away some somatic experiencing tools, learn about your nervous system, practice healthy empathetic boundaries, and feel the empowerment and connection of a community ritual.

Jesse Gardner is a yoga teacher, high school educator and Hip Hop artist. Theophany Faith is a Somatic Therapist and yarden enthusiast. They have been married for 12 years, live in Gresham, and enjoy doting on their cute cat, Keen.
