Build Your Circle of Care: Creating Relationships That Hold You

Healing is not just personal — it’s relational.

This final workshop in the Your Healing Arc: A Curriculum for Care, Structure, and Community series centers the power of community and vulnerability. We’ll explore what makes openness feel risky, and practice creating boundaries that allow for both safety and connection.

Agenda / What to Expect

• Welcome & community check-in
• Understanding vulnerability and why it feels risky
• Guided reflection: Safety + openness in relationships
• Mapping your “circle of care” — people and practices that sustain you
• Closing circle & Q&A
  

What’s Included

• 90-minute live workshop
• Replay access if you can’t attend live
• Downloadable Curriculum for Care workbook
• A protected, supportive space (capped at 30 participants)
• Guided community check-in for authentic connection
  

Who Could Benefit

• Black folks and people of color seeking safe, authentic community
• Anyone wanting to strengthen boundaries without losing connection
• Those ready to build their circle of care with intention
