Hello Sweet Humans,
You know this. In this moment, the ground beneath us is shifting in ways that challenge us to witness, hold, and move forward differently. These shifts stir old patterns of separation, fear, and longing that shape how we relate to ourselves, each other, and the world. Our power and voice are stronger collectively, in community. Yet after a season of isolation, the urgency to gather and meet what is alive within us and between us can feel overwhelming and uncertain. I hope to cultivate spaces for practice and complexity, to tend and root ourselves well in this moment, and to deepen the work of turning toward what’s hard with care.
The Geography of Grief — FREE Gathering
🗓️ This Tuesday, August 12 · 7–8:30pm ET
📍 Zoom (register to receive the link)
A gentle virtual gathering to explore the geography of grief together. This space invites us to move beyond overwhelm and shutdown to simply be with whatever is alive inside right now, in real time and in community. No agenda. No performance. Just an open, supportive space to feel into, experience, and be with what is emerging within and between us.

Consultation Groups for Therapists
Two small-group cohorts beginning September
An invitation to build community while exploring the sticky patterns in your work. Increase self-trust, deepen resilience for you and your clients, and shift your relational presence. Feel more supported in therapeutic challenges, welcome both your therapist and human selves, and lessen the aloneness common in this work. As your guide, I’ll lean into principles from The STAIR Method to inform our process, weaving in neurobiology and experiential learning.
🗓️ Mondays · 1–3p ET · September 8 to December 15 (8 meetings)
🗓️ Tuesdays · 11a–1p ET · September 9 to December 16 (8 meetings)
📍 Zoom
Groups are limited to 6–8 clinicians each.
From the Archives
If you want to deepen your understanding of how decontextualized trauma lives in our bodies and ripples through our communities, I invite you to check out the work of Resmaa Menakem, somatic abolitionist and author of My Grandmother’s Hands, The Quaking of America, and Monsters in Love. His work remains deeply relevant to the moment we are in, as does this conversation we recorded six years ago.
The constellation of these offerings strives to cultivate spaces where we can practice presence.
Presence is a revolutionary and necessary personal action we can all mobilize to witness ourselves, others, and the world around us without turning away. It supports us in staying connected through hard moments, both to ourselves and to one another.
We invite the gravity of this moment to help us feel into what roots us as the ground shakes. Remembering that we belong to ourselves and to one another in ways that recontextualize our humanity, deepen our care, and meet this moment with presence and resilience.
May we hold the hard with kindness, moving together with courage and tenderness.
May the fullness of this week’s Sturgeon Moon energy offer us space to witness, root, and move with what is alive within and between us.
In care and courage,
Rebecca
