GET TO KNOW THE
healing arts collaborative
The Healing Arts Collaborative is a social justice oriented space for continuing education, peer consultation and supervision. We are deeply committed to providing quality care, ethical anti-oppressive healing experiences and expanding access to specialized therapy techniques for individuals who would otherwise face barriers to advanced mental health treatment.
the history of the collective
HAC was created to bridge the gap between formal training and the greater community of healing arts professionals. The process of integrating new therapy techniques into an existing practice and the layered complexity that can come with deeper process work warrants intentional spaces for exploration of the healer identity. It can be isolating to attend a training or workshop with little to no follow up support. Some consultation and training spaces are priced to support those who are in private practice and those in community mental health settings or non-clinical practice may struggle to access these supports due to financial barriers.
One facet of the HAC is supporting those who are learning psychedelic ethics. There are limited options [for education and consultation that are affordable] for ongoing personal and professional development that focus on integrating psychedelic medicine into modern therapy practices. Our model includes free, pay what you can and donation based options for greater accessibility. The online learning platform provides on demand courses and workshops that focus on psychedelic ethics.
a personal note
I've experienced peer supervision groups in which ethical considerations were not emphasized and social justice frameworks were ignored or were not in alignment with the value systems I've cultivated to maintain safety and solidarity in my work.
For the last 15 years, I've offered community based supervision, workshops, and educational series. It has been a privilege and pleasure to collaborate with healers and helpers looking to deepen their practices. Over the last 25 years I have run many therapeutic groups (including experiential therapy with Ketamine), and have most recently developed conscious containers through the experiential Psycholytic EMDR Intensives training. My hope is to cultivate safe, intentional spaces for learning and professional identity development.
