Join Our TeamAll circles operate on a pay what you can scale ranging from $10 - $100 per a session. The main difference is Explorative Circles have 16 sessions, and Creative only have 8, meaning Explorative Circles cost about double the price of a Creative Circle. We believe everyone deserves healing and provide access to both circles free of charge periodically as part of our Community Circles.
All the sessions take place over Zoom.
As for dealing with safety and confidentiality in an online platform, we use HIPAA compliant Zoom for sessions and have a HIPAA compliant intake process. We also allow participants to use pseudonyms if they choose, have every participant sign a confidentiality agreement, hide their info from group emails and calendar invites and also only our participant coordinator, the group facilitator and group moderator have access to your application.
We will add you to our waitlist so that you are near the top of the list when the next circle opens. In the meantime, you can sign up for our biweekly newsletter at getrevue.co/profile/healingcircles.
Our moderators are here for you. Each Healing Circle has a moderator who will assist you throughout the eight weeks. If you become triggered and need to take a step out, the moderator can enter into a breakout room and help ground you, go through breathing exercises, or simply hold space for whatever it is that you might need in that moment.
We strongly encourage people to only attend one Healing Circle at a time because they are a large emotional and time commitment.
It is okay to miss a session as long as you make sure that the moderator of the group is aware that you will be missing the session ahead of time. We strongly encourage attendance to every session that you can make though to help foster community and expand your access to healing tools.
Healing Circles operate on a pay-what-you-can model; more information on pricing can be found on this page.
Our program focuses on psychoeducation and creative healing practices. We strive to help people who have experienced harm explore their feelings through discussions around sex positivity, internalized shame and guilt, boundaries, justice and embracing sexuality. We have also had participants engage in activities such as drawing, song writing, mask therapy, and more.
The primary mode used in this Healing Circle is conversations around sex positivity. Each week you will be meeting with the same trauma-informed facilitator and discussing things such as reclaiming one’s body and sexuality. Discussions around things such as shame, guilt, unwanted arousal, boundaries, and justice are also often covered. The other sessions typically had with rotating facilitators are focused in music, art, poetry, yoga, drama, and other kinds of healing practices.
Each Explorative Circle lasts for eight weeks and meets twice a we One of the sessions is a sex positive, educational, and discussion-based session, which lasts for 90 minutes. The other session rotates facilitators who have backgrounds in art, music, drama, yoga, dance, and poetry and typically lasts for 90 minuets.
Movement and dance circles incorporate body-based coping mechanisms to help with stress, anxiety, and depression. Emotions and feelings can be explored through mediums such as dance, muscle relaxation, or self-touch. A specific example of this circle is our facilitator Cashel Campbell’s Circle. Cashel teaches FlexTech healing, a hybrid of stretching, flexibility, and breathing exercises aimed at creating fluidity throughout the body. Participants will learn how to lay a foundation for both inner and outer strength-building within the body, supporting our bodies' daily tasks, changes and routines.
Creative Circles meet once a week to focus on a single healing practice (like art, movement, music) in greater detail. For example, in an art circle we explore different tools, mediums, and styles in art healing. When registering, you will be asked what modality of practice you wish to focus on! No previous experience is necessary for these circles!
Transformational yoga is focused on an integral approach: body, mind, thought, emotion, breath. It’s a much more gentle practice compared to Western yoga (Western yoga is the type of yoga you are most likely familiar with). Meditation and breathwork play a huge role in this yoga. Trauma is stored in the body, and movement can be used to transfer the trauma out. The class will be based on movement and activities, but will leave room for people to stay on and talk after the workshop ends. Staying on for discussions after the movement session is completely optional.
Music therapy is the specialized use of music by a credentialed professional who develops individualized treatment and supportive interventions for people of all ages and ability levels to address their social, emotional, physical, cognitive, sensory, communication and spiritual needs. Past session activities include drumming workshops, sound baths, lyric analysis sessions, music for coping and relaxation, and song writing sessions. The sessions are led by a board-certified music therapist utilizing singing, improvisational music-making and instrument play to encourage creativity and enhance joy.
Participants will get the opportunity to be introduced to different art materials and new techniques that they can use to express themself visually. We will provide specific art directives to help them explore their feelings, emotions and thoughts in a safe and gentle manner. Some directives are theme based such as "draw a door or draw a bridge", and some are 3-D projects such as mask making and clay molding. Each session concludes with sharing of the art products and discussion of their creative experience.
The group meets once a week for 1.5 - 2 hours for 8 weeks total.
