HEALING-CENTERED LEADERSHIP COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE

A 10-month long journey for leaders who want to root into wholeness, repair, and relational wisdom.

This is a tending place for leaders who want to lead differently.

Because we cannot build liberatory systems with dysregulated bodies. Because relational change requires leaders who can feel, notice, repair, and restore. Because culture shifts when leaders remember their essence, not just their roles. Because healing is not individual work, it is deeply communal, interdependent, and relational.

This cohort will run from November 2026- August 2027.

Who This Is For

This is a home for leaders who want to:

• center healing in how they lead
• deepen their relationship with their nervous system
• practice kapwa and pakikiramdam as leadership strategies
• deepen awareness of colonial patterns and how to shift to regenerative practices
• hold grief, rage, joy, and longing with compassion
• embed repair and reconciliation as core leadership practices
• build relational, healing-centered cultures
• rehearse futures that feel safe in the body
• root into ancestral wisdom and embodied stewardship

What You’ll Experience

Each month includes:

1. A Live Practice Gathering (120 minutes)

A grounding space with:

• somatic arriving
• a short story or teaching
• a guided practice
• small-group reflection
• communal harvesting

These sessions move gently but deeply.

2. Shared learning

You’ll work with a buddy to meet between sessions. These circles are pockets of warmth where you practice the monthly ritual, reflect on what’s alive, and support one another in integration.

3. Monthly Practice Guide

You will receive:

• a grounding ritual
• a somatic or sensory practice
• daily reflection prompts
• a relational exercise

4. Dedicated online space for connection

You will be invited to a Whatsapp group:

• to share insights, musings, and curiosities with each other
• to surface tension
• to be held by the collective in ongoing explorations

5. A Live Connection Call (90 minutes)

A sharing space to:

• bring in real-world examples or experiences
• ask further questions about the materials and practice given

This community is a tending place, a Refugia space for your remembering.
