TRAINING & POLITICAL EDUCATION
The Political Healers Training Program utilizes political education, experiential learning and healing practice to transform damaging race and gender narratives womxn of color hold about themselves and one another, and to explore the ways in which healing can be a powerful political tool in the public arena. All political healing training sessions ultimately provide the elements of 1) manifesting and expanding feminine leadership in the public arena 2) intersectional cuts between gender, race, class and other structural problems, and 3) healing space and/or practice.
We offer two regularly-scheduled training series and one regularly-scheduled seminar series. We also coordinate half-day and full-day workshops that incorporate various sessions from all of our training and seminar series.
