We know that these are trying times.

As clinicians and holistic wellness practitioners we have the privilege of leaning into practices that we’ve nurtured in our personal and professional lives to get us through. We’ve cultivated space that holds ALL of us so that we can heal and find center in mind, body, & spirit.

We want to make sure that those on the front lines have these tools as well, but we know that the times we most need these practices the most are sometimes also the times when they are the hardest to integrate. For this reason, our holistic team has put together an Essential Workers Care Package. This offering from GGOC Wellness, offers a month of consistent support to help folks where they’re at in the moment as well as jump start their future healing work and keep them grounded at center!

Sessions will cover, utilizing guided meditation, distance healing, coping skills, stress reduction strategies, decompression tools, and assessment/aftercare guidance.

We hope that you’ll take advantage of this great offer to prioritize your self-care or support a loved one!

There is so much happening in the world right now. Trauma seems to be spawning trauma, but we know that the answer isn't to ignore what is uncomfortable, to not look at what would ask us to grow.

6-years ago, in an article about the killing of Michael Brown, a journalist for Slate, Jamelle Bouie reminded us, "Our courts and juries aren’t impartial arbiters—they exist inside society, not outside of it—and they can only provide as much justice as society is willing to give."

In 1993, in an interview with Charlie Rose, Toni Morrison was asked what to do about "everyday racist encounters," and this quote was the culmination of her razor sharp answer that this was the wrong question. We have a serious problem and the solution will not be in how victimized individuals and communities respond but in how the oppressor reflects on their abuses of power.

Now 2020, in the midst of a global pandemic, what is it we are willing to give? How are we willing to unsettle the dynamics of power that are instigating and nurturing systemic violence?

We know these are scary times and we wish we had the answer. There is more to investigate as we look at our society's darkest struggles highlighted. What we can do is commit to actively sitting in this inquiry and ask that the communities we are a part of do the same.
