Healing-Centered Community Engagement Program
Healing in Community
Healing-centered community engagement is an approach to community work that focuses on holistic well-being and recognizes the impact of trauma on individuals and communities. Unlike traditional models of community engagement that might prioritize addressing immediate needs or solving problems, healing-centered engagement acknowledges the importance of addressing underlying trauma, fostering resilience, and promoting collective healing.

Yoga With Ashley!
We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to find healing and inner peace through the practice of yoga. However, we also understand that the world of wellness can often be exclusive and centered around a narrow definition of what it means to be healthy.
That's why we are dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming space for all bodies, but especially for Black people. Join us for Yoga with Ashley!
