Our Approach

The Science

Neuroscience shows us that the body and brain are one integrated system. When we feel grounded in our bodies, our prefrontal cortex comes online and we can learn, create, and connect.

Polyvagal theory teaches us that our nervous system constantly scans for safety. When we help bodies feel regulated, minds can focus and hearts can open.

Trauma research confirms that healing happens through the body, not around it. We integrate trauma-informed practices that honor this wisdom.

The Wisdom

Indigenous traditions have always known that learning happens in community, through the body, and in relationship with the earth. We honor these ways of knowing.

Ancestral practices like breathwork, movement, and circle processes aren't trends - they're technologies our bodies remember.

Cultural wisdom from Mexican-Indigenous, African diasporic, and other traditions inform our approach to healing and learning.

How We Bridge Both

Evidence-based practice grounded in somatic experiencing and nervous system regulation.

Culturally responsive methods that honor diverse ways of knowing and being.

Healing-centered engagement that moves beyond trauma-informed to actively cultivate wellbeing.

Decolonization frameworks that challenge systems designed to disconnect us from our bodies and each other.

Fully Liberated Learning Environments

holistically grow together
We wholeheartedly embrace the cyclical nature of the learning process.

This process is rooted in neuroscience and designed to empower communities by offering beginning-to-end support in completing a full and transformative learning cycle. This service provides an opportunity to fully liberate your learning environment to heal and thrive.

Traditional education doesn't recognize the body as central to the learning process. We know better. This is liberated education that serves our evolution.

Remember, Reclaim, Liberate.

Do you wish to cultivate a sustainable community that can…

Our holistic approach integrates inclusive pedagogy, social-emotional learning, restorative justice, and community building. We design a holistic approach to the learning process that allows for partners to go through all the phases of learning while tailoring the solutions to address the unique needs.
