Start with a Free Resource
Whether designing a healing art session, leading a corporate retreat, or responding to your community after a crisis, this free resource will help you do it with intention.
The Crisis-to-Connection Framework breaks down five key elements of emotional recovery: Safety, Connection, Expression, Integration, and Renewal. It’s designed to be flexible, culturally responsive, and rooted in lived experience.
You’ll walk away with a visual model, guiding principles, and a deeper understanding of how healing can unfold in circles, not straight lines.
