The Framework
The framework we use to describe our approach to social change and liberation is called Transformative Praxis.
Transformative Praxis is an embodied healing justice framework for individual and collective bodies working toward social equity, social justice, and liberation. As necessary prerequisites for discussion, strategy &/or implementation of activities intended address inclusion/intercultural competence, diversity, equity, and access toward our collective liberation.
Our approach is rooted in honoring culturally meaningful healing practice, concepts of mind-body medicine, and ancestral ways of being.
Why Transformative Praxis?
In the work for social equity, social justice, and liberation we offer an alternative approach to the dominant ways of problem solving for humanity.
Transformative Praxis is a framework that can assist change makers and change making organizations to identify the ways we can holistically respond to and intervene on propagating and perpetuating systemic trauma and structural oppression.
Transformative Praxis also brings practices that impact and transform the consequences of oppression on and in our individual &/or collective bodies, hearts, and minds.
Whatever it is, the way you heal from it can make all the difference.
