Our dream, as space holders and facilitators, is to build a community that is working towards liberation as a tribe where we welcome all of you and all that you hold, the beauty and the pain.

Location:
The Movement Space @ Radical Healing
(2007 Chapel Hill Road - white house with pink Triangle)
This series is organized into small group sessions each facilitated by one of our Queer practitioners. At this time we have Ifasina, Sufia, Jayden, and Pablo.
-
Get Embodied Soul Dance is an access centered cultural dance and embodiment practice that supports your well being through joyful movement! Seated and standing variations of Afro Beat and other Black/Pan African dances and movement are the taught by priest and energy healer, Ifasina (he/they), a big bodied, Black, genderqueer and Disabled space holder.
-
Sufia Ikbal-Doucet (they/them) is a creator and curator of Beauty. Sufia helps people understand their own medicines by witnessing their reflection in plants and other earth beings. Whether through story medicine, plant medicine, energy medicine or curating healing spaces, Sufia nurtures the fractal embodiment of internal liberation that is fundamentally collective liberation.
-
This in-person gathering is a reliable space for the Queer community to come together and honor our collective and individual experience with grief.
Through various practices, we will learn how to hold both the beauty and the pain that comes with our intersectional identities. The intention is that we support one another and create a space of understanding.
Come as you are, with all that you hold. As a collective, we can navigate through the complexities of our experiences and find solace in our shared journey. Don't miss out on this grounding event meant to release the build up tensions, self-sabotage, and disembodiment.
-
A reliable, QTBIPOC-centered space to experience spiritual embodiment practices developed to expand our collective capacity for healing justice, shadow work, and processing inner wounds.
Whether you're seeking guidance, healing, or simply a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you, Pablo Robles (aka @Running_Guerrero) will guide you through this embodied journey.
You will learn and share in a combination of accessible embodiment, somatic & spiritual practices that support our collective survival and liberation by challenging the popularization of self-care and healing. Don't miss out!
Group Offerings:

Masking is requested in all interior common areas, including bathrooms and hallways on campus. For larger format group spaces, please continue to wear a mask unless everyone in the group has discussed comfort and agrees to remove masks.
The Movement Space has a medical-grade HEPA Filter that cleans the air every 8-10 minutes, and when possible, facilitators may choose to open doors and windows to increase ventilation in the space.
If you have symptoms of COVID or any other illness or infection, please consider alternative session plans or ensure you’re wearing masks in session if you test negative for COVID. If you need access to a COVID test, please contact a member of the Organizing Team for extra support.
IF YOU TEST POSITIVE FOR COVID (updated 9/2023): Current guidelines recommend staying home for 5 days following a positive COVID test. Day 0 is the first onset of symptoms and Day 1 is considered the first full day after the day your symptoms started. You may want to consider masking in person for the next week after you return to campus following the 5 day isolation period.

This is a pace that is curated to center QTBIPOC individuals. We ask that all who choose to join us come prepared and ready to listen with compassion and understanding that we move with the intention to dismantle all forms of oppression and violence.
-
Accessibility to our campus is a priority. Accessibility needs greatly vary and we would like to create ease and respond to all requests and individual needs to create access. Please don’t hesitate to speak with your clinician/group facilitator or a member of our Organizing Team (Ezra, Cam, Sabrina, Dave, Kate).
Accessible parking: Parking spots are available by reservation and coned off, to secure your access. Please contact your clinician/group facilitator or any member of our Organizing Team to discuss your needs and reserve a parking spot(s) on campus.
Accessible entrances: The Durham campus has 3 accessible entrances (black house, casa, movement space*). The movement space is accessible on the side entrance. All buildings have a lip at the entrance door which should be regarded for safety. Please let us know if any extra support is needed to improve access.
Accessibility for neurodivergence: We want Radical Healing to be a space that welcomes and celebrates radical authenticity, and we are so happy to have neurodivergent individuals on our campus. Campus accessibility includes a culture that is pro-stimming and ability to access sensory-friendly spaces as needed. If you believe any other accessibility measures would allow you to be more authentic on our campus, please don’t hesitate to speak with your clinician, group facilitator, or a member of the Organizing Team.
