Holistic Healing

This is a closed peer support group for student survivors of sexual assault. The purpose of the group is to promote a sense of community, self-empowerment, and to provide a safer space for survivors to learn self-care and coping strategies by building on existing strengths. For closed groups, regular attendance is expected and an intake/consultation appointment must be completed to participate.

Healing in Community are workshops and healing groups that center the intersections of survivors by focusing on identity specific impacts that survivors may face. The focus of these groups is creating community, exploration of healing strategies, de-mystifying stigma, providing education and support.

Healing through empowerment is a workshop series that focuses on the use of art, movement and grounding techniques to engage in self-expression, self-discovery and connection to community. Our art, movement and grounding focused workshops can be spaces where you have the opportunity to experience new insights, creativity, and joy.

Healing Harbor (Art)

Use creative expression to explore the endless opportunities to reflect the beauty from inside your mind to an outside tangible or performative work of art. Let your curiosity and intuition guide you to draw, paint, write, and/or sculpt your feelings. There are no grades and happy mistakes are encouraged!

Make Waves (Movement)

Similar to the human mind, the body remembers and stores trauma in different parts of our physical being. Incorporating simple movements and adjustments in our routines can assist the body in healing itself from past experiences. Let energy flow out of your physical body to make space for renewal with activities that center movement. 

CARE Anchor (Grounding)

To ground oneself is to bring the mind, body, and spirit to the present moment through awareness in the senses and reconnection to earth. With grounding, one can reach a sense of security and stability as one navigates drifting through life’s many stressors- like an anchor to a ship at sea. Learn and practice various grounding techniques to center yourself through intentional acts of self care to increase resiliency, feelings of belonging, and self esteem.
