Reclamation: support for adult survivors of child sexual abuse
In this peer-led space we use the power of poetry, conversation and connection to cultivate radical self-love, personal power, and beloved community
Tiger Lily: survivor wellbeing & education group
Through engaging and creative activities, survivors of sexual and intimate partner violence (including adult survivors of child abuse) gather to cultivate continued courage, self-compassion, connection, wellness and self-directed advocacy.
Restoration: expressive-arts peer support & education group for survivors living with chronic health
Many survivors experience chronic pain conditions that interfere with the quality of life. During Poetic Balm we explore ways to live well, be informed self-advocates, address stigma, and the health disparities that challenge well-being.
BeLoved: a survivor self-care & support circle for black women
Join us as we address “triple jeopardy”; the exploitation and oppression experienced by survivors who are black women. Through engaging and creative activities, we cultivate self-love, sustained acceptance and affirmation, beloved community, and strategies to address the root causes of violence.
Poetic Balm: support circle for survivors of childhood emotional abuse & abandonment
