ROAR Healing Co.

Donald Trump’s administration is creating conditions of fear, overwhelm, and confusion, AKA the ideal conditions for folks to be traumatized. We reduce our chances of becoming traumatized when we access our internal and external resources. We’ll focus on practical strategies and information to help us:
-stay grounded
-connect with internal and external resources
-find a sense of safety
-regulate our nervous systems
-connect with self and others

Our time together will likely include some of the following: deep breathing, body-awareness exercises, journaling, mindfulness, guided meditation, and optional sharing.

Anti-oppressive space. All are welcome. Open to anyone who needs this space.

Group Agreements:
-Confidentiality: what’s shared here stays here, what you learn here can leave here
-Mindful Sharing: give content and trigger warnings when sharing potentially traumatic topics, be aware of how much space you’re taking
-Anti-Oppressive: folks of all identities are welcome and celebrated, difference is a strength
-Safe, Brave Space: uncomfortable doesn’t mean unsafe, abusive language or behavior will be interrupted and opportunity for repair offered, folks who repeat abusive language or behavior will be removed from the group, mistakes are opportunities
