Women's Collective Healing Group - Healing on the Homeland

A Restorative Circle for Women in Southern Louisiana’s bayou region

This community healing group is dedicated to nurturing the mental, emotional, and social well-being of women all along the many seasons of their womanhood journey. Rooted in cultural affirmation and deep care, this restorative circle offers a safe and empowering space for us to come together and, as our ancestors would say, “lay our burdens down.”

We begin by building trust within communities where shared identities and lived experiences create a foundation for inclusive understanding. This bayou region series of Healing on the Homeland focuses on healing interventions for the following identity groups:

• Mothers

• BIPOC Women

• Women who work in helping professions, i.e teachers, health care workers, social services workers, mental health providers

In a small, supportive, group setting, we’ll explore practical strategies for:

• Helping women cultivate a deeper sense of emotional wellness that fosters healing in all areas of their lives

• Managing stress and anxiety with more calm

• Uncovering, understanding, and releasing the “strong, super woman” roles so that we can have more access to receiving the care & support we need

• Deepening self-acceptance and emotional resilience

• Integrating inner-child healing

• Uncovering, understanding, & releasing the cultural stories of shaming our bodies and learning new ways to re-connect to the beauty & pleasure of our bodies

• Navigating difficult and trauma-bonded relationships with more clarity and intuition

• Processing grief in a supported, compassionate, way

• Inviting in more peace, joy, freedom, and balance into everyday life

Group Format & Structure

To create a safe and trusting environment, each group is carefully designed specifically for one of the three identity groups listed above, and is limited to 8 participants per series. Each series includes:

• 8 in-person group sessions held monthly on Sundays

• Location: The Emotional Recovery Home & Retreat space in Thibodaux, Louisiana

• Group scheduling: Final dates and times are decided collaboratively, based on what works best for everyone in the group

Before joining a group series, each woman will be invited to three 1-on-1 emotional recovery sessions-click here to learn more about these sessions. These one-on-one therapeutic sessions are designed to support women in understanding what they truly need to thrive—both in their relationship with themselves and in their personal and professional connections.

Grounded in trauma-informed care, these emotional recovery sessions create a safe, compassionate space to tend to your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. These individual one on one sessions lays the foundation for us all to feels safe, aligned, and ready to come together and share space together as a group.

Cost & Community Offering

This collective healing experience is offered in the spirit of abundance, generosity, and community care—and offered with multiple sliding scale rates based on you financial situation so that everyone has access to the program. Rates are decided on a case by base basis and will be discussed once you contact me regarding your interests in the program. No one will be denied access to the program regardless of their financial situation.

Additional Group Formats

If you are looking for a shorter format for a group that you are already a part of, such as a one day staff retreat for your department, a team-building session for your organization, a back-to-school emotional wellness training for the educators on your staff, we can also curate a Healing on the Homeland session specially for your event. We use a restorative, culturally-affirming approach grounded in evidence-based, peer-to-peer healing practices known as Restorative Storytelling Circles to help your team re-connect to your vision, mission, and values individually and communally as an organization.

If you’ve been searching for a nurturing, non-judgmental community of connection, that helps create space for your full-humanity at work—this may be the space you’ve been looking for.
