Casey Langer Tesfaye
My name is Casey Langer Tesfaye. I am a qualitative public health researcher by trade, a community advocate by nature, and a lover of deep physical and emotional healing by hobby. In April 2025, I lost my job as a government contractor amidst a deeply impacted industry and began to focus on community building and healing activities with a goal of creating community resilience, building and strengthening community connections and creating new tools and systems to guide us forward in times of upheaval. My work focuses on the power of meditation and grounding exercises; open conversation about difficult topics; encouraging collective imagination; and putting into practice that which I learn from the sessions I lead in collaboration with churches, professional organizations, community healing spaces, and more.
