Lissa shares trauma-sensitive practices to support offering embodied radical care for what’s present in the body-heart-mind. Lissa has over 200 videos in the video library and will upload at least four new practices to the video library monthly.
The practices draw from ancient practices lovingly stewarded by ancestors and teachers based in Africa, the subcontinent of India, China, and Indigenous communities, as well as teachings Lissa has learned from somatic and trauma-based healing modalities.
To make the video library accessible, there is the option to rent practices for the day offering what you can as well as to purchase a monthly membership for unlimited access to practices.
Standalone programs are available in the video library to allow us to receive more in-depth support in specific areas.
*Mindfulness & Stress Resourcing 6-Week Series (the focus of Lissa’s doctoral project) is available in the video library. Participants reported the series being highly supportive in helping them to learn about mindfulness and the stress response as well as to learn skillful ways to tend to anxiety and stress.
*Mindful Mat Pilates & Accessible Strength Care Package is available in the video library. In this collection of videos, Lissa offers practices that emphasize body awareness, mobility, stability, alignment, balance, strength, choice, and care.
Upcoming Community (Sangha) Offerings
BIPOC Embodied Refuge, Apr 5 at 11a ET online
BIPOC Embodied Refuge, a sangha (community) for those who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, is held and guided by the teachings that liberation arises both from within the body and in community when cultivated and regularly practiced.
These gatherings were intended to support studying the dharma together alongside healing collective and intergenerational race-and oppression-based trauma via the body and in community as well as cultivating communal and intergenerational resilience and reclamation.
Our meetings are held utilizing community agreements and the framework of Buddhist principles and trauma-responsive practices as an opportunity to find nourishment in community and the dharma. Space will be held for all that’s present in a way that supports a trauma-responsive approach, self and collective care, and community and connection.
