Schedule

Week 1: The Emotional Continuum  

Where there is joy, there might also be anger, sadness, and fear. This session will explore the continuum of emotions necessary for us to heal and get free. 

Week 2: Pleasure as a Portal (Closed Session) 

Violence, stress, and trauma can rob us of our ability to experience pleasure, this closed session invites survivors to reconnect with themselves through sensual self touch and affirmation. 

Week 3: We Believe that We Will Win

Our joy is our resistance. This session will explore how we use Black joy in our resistance struggles and explore collective art making. 

Week 4: Rituals and Recipes for Healing 

Cooking is a site of joy and ancestral wisdom. In this session we will cook together in order to commune with one another. 

What is the Survivor Healing Series?

The series of virtual sessions led by healing practitioners will focus on introducing tools and practices that can help you navigate crisis and trauma, as you begin to rebuild a sense of safety, joy, and overall healing. As survivors, we are resilient and brave and this series is an opportunity for you to add to the skills and tools that you already have and use every day to navigate your triggers and trauma. Together, we will be learning how our stories can be a tool of empowerment, how we navigate shame and guilt, and how we move in our healing journey towards joy and pleasure.
