The Return is a 2-hour intimate evening retreat designed to help you pause, settle, and come back to yourself.
In the midst of full lives, constant giving, and unrelenting momentum, this gathering offers space to soften the body, quiet the mind, and reconnect with what truly matters. Through gentle, grounding yoga, guided reflection, and intentional vision casting, you’ll be supported in releasing what no longer serves you and clarifying how you want to move forward.
During The Return, you’ll experience:
A grounding, accessible yoga practice rooted in nervous system regulation
Guided reflection to integrate the season you’re leaving and honor what it has asked of you
Vision casting that is embodied, values-led, and aligned with your capacity
Space for stillness, intention, and reconnection in community
The Return is for those who are craving rest, clarity, and a moment to land—before stepping into what’s next.
You’ll leave feeling more rooted, present, and connected to the vision you’re carrying forward.
Embodied Care Basics is a foundational training for therapists, coaches, and wellness practitioners ready to shift from treating symptoms to facilitating deep, embodied healing.
Through the Embodied Care framework — rooted in Awareness, Attunement, and Alignment — you'll learn how to help Black women reconnect with their bodies, build sustainable wellness practices, and liberate themselves from harmful narratives about worth, care, and success.
This training is not just about learning techniques; it's about becoming an embodied practitioner yourself — someone who inspires sustainable healing by living it.
You’ll leave this training prepared to:
Integrate somatic practices and body trust work into your clinical or wellness approach
Support Black women in healing body narratives through sustainable, liberatory care
Redefine wellness as a lived, sustainable experience — not a performance or project
Move beyond pathology models into culturally responsive, liberation-centered practice
This foundational workshop introduces practitioners to the core somatic and body-based interventions of the Embodied Care framework. Participants will learn how to integrate gentle, accessible, and culturally-responsive somatic skills into trauma healing work with Black women and marginalized communities.
This training offers a deeper dive into Embodied Care practice interventions and strategies including depth in understanding how trauma lives in the body, how survival patterns shape wellness behaviors, and how practitioners can facilitate awareness, attunement, and alignment using grounding, movement invitations, sensory awareness, and body-trust practices.
Through experiential exercises, demonstrations, and guided practice, clinicians will learn not just what to do, but how to do it with presence, pacing, and nervous system attunement.
Participants will learn to:
Assess somatic cues and survival patterns during sessions
Use grounding, breathwork, movement, and body awareness with cultural sensitivity
Facilitate embodied safety without re-traumatization
Introduce nourishing, rest-based, and capacity-centered interventions
Support clients in re-establishing body trust and sustainable wellness rhythms
Ideal for: Therapists, healers, wellness providers, yoga teachers, coaches, and anyone supporting trauma recovery through body-centered practices.
