The Deconstructing Wellness Series is here!

Justice work might be the one thing about 2020 we DON'T want to be over with next year, and wellness is one area where there is a lot of opportunity for growth. This series offers a safe, collaborative, enriching space to keep the conversation going and discuss the intersection of justice and wellness in a mutually respectful way, moderated by people who are able to speak to and hold space for their nuances, in seeking to answer the question: how can we build more justice into our wellness practices and journeys? A space where there are no silly questions, only curious, courageous conversations.

Winter 2021: Courageous Conversation for Creating Equity

Kicking off this series is a conversation led by the inspiring folks of Holistic Underground. In this 90-minute workshop, Holistic Underground will share principles for leadership and allyship that support you to engage with your work and community from a place of inclusion, equity, and dignity—as opposed to blame, shame, guilt, and defensiveness.

Mazin Jamal and Raquel Najera will teach a leadership tool that gives you the ability to create the context for generative conversations and excellent allyship within the wellness and healing community, even with complex or challenging topics. 60 minutes will be an interactive discussion-based talk, with 30 minutes following for open Q&A.

Early Bird rate available until end of December, then will go up! All proceeds will go directly to compensating our facilitators.
