Classes

Embodied Empowerment: The Spirit’s Role in Healing Trauma

Traumatic stories must be reframed as we gain new understandings of God’s presence in a broken world. Using the voices of contemporary writers who confront the questions of where is God in the suffering, injustice and violence, participants investigate perspectives relevant to the redeeming power of God’s grace.

RAPHA: A Course in Contemplative Healing Prayer

How do we address spiritual exhaustion in an era of cumulative trauma? How do we keep our hearts open? How do we know our compassionate heart won’t get eaten up? Rapha (the Hebrew word “to heal”) is designed to help us pray into these questions to reveal the impact of trauma on our faith, families, and communities.

Sacred Activism: Womanist Mystics and Social Change

This course will present womanist mystics who speak of their relationships with and experiences of the Divine and remain uncompromised by the systems that seek to silence them as they stand in their truth.

EmpowerHer: Womanist Spiritual Formation

This course will offer an opportunity to experiment with spiritual disciplines, identify the essential qualities of spiritual companionship and community and draw inspiration from the Spirit directed lives of influential womanist figures.

The Language of Mysticism: How Different Religious Traditions Express Spiritual Experience

This course is an exploration of how mysticism is articulated in various religious traditions comparing the terminology and symbolism used in diverse cultural contexts.

There are a myriad of ways to access the Divine like puzzling, doodling and daydreaming. This course will identify nontraditional ways we connect with the Divine in various cultures and context.

Workshops

Roots Matter: Healing History, Honoring Heritage, Renewing Hope

Shared generational trauma disrupts the lives of families. Understanding the connection to our lives can inform the decisions we make. Roots Matter leads participants on a journey to mend, heal and strengthen themselves and their families and communities.

Trauma Informed Praxis: Lament as a Healing Practice

We carry trauma in our bodies, and we must intentionally release it, or it will make us sick. Lamenting involves feeling anguish, regret, grief, sorrow, and disappointment. This workshop provides various ceremonies and rituals for lamenting.

Root Shock: Seeking Justice and Reparations for the Land

Slavery, a trail of tears, internment camps, interstate highways, real estate developers, floods, fire, and hurricanes cause root shock. Roots Shock is the traumatic stress reaction to the destruction of all or part of one’s emotional ecosystem. It ruptures bonds, undermines trust, and destabilizes relationships. This workshop will discuss multiple forms of reparations tackling the reverberations of trauma.

Paralyzed and in Pain: Grief That Lasts Too Long

Grief is the pain of loss, while mourning is the process of adjusting to that loss. Similar to the Angel of Grief sculpture by William Wetmore Story, people can feel emotionally paralyzed and unable to move forward after experiencing loss. Recognizing and naming the unresolved grief is the first step toward healing.

Lectures

Through this engagement, I aimed to provide a holistic perspective that bridges ancient wisdom with present-day approaches to healing and self-discovery. It was an enriching experience to share insights and connect with an audience passionate about personal growth and collective well-being.
