The container for nurturing a movement of radical connections, revolutionary relationships, and transformative healing that serves as the foundation for the reality of abundance that we all deserve.
We offer experiences for individuals and groups that are grounded in the principles of Racial Equity developed by the Dismantling Racism Works collective, and when you choose to work with us, the results are powerful outcomes:
1) A deeper sense of awareness and understanding of the self and the group identity
Chelsea led a seminar about dialogue that leads to new perspectives. She helped me to see how things I said, which seemed compassionate to me came across as condescending to others.

2) Integrated healing techniques for trauma on all three levels of existence: personal, institutional, and cultural
Chelsea opened up doors of self empowerment I didn't know were there. Her mentorship has helped me see the world through a wider, communal lens.
Nichole V.
Social Worker
3) A commitment to honor and build power in and with the margins
Chelsea got me registered and took me to vote. I've watched her spend her free hours organizing food drives, organizing campaigns, registering voters and driving them to the polls herself, helping people find shelter and clothes, using her voice to always stand up for the people who really need it.
