Reader,

I hope this email finds you well (or actively coping with the state of the world). I know it’s been a while since my last email, and I want to thank you for your patience during this very impromptu hiatus 💛

Over the past two months, I:

• took an unexpected break from most communications (watch video here),
• ​
• succumbed to the sweet uncertainty that comes before clarity and decision making,
• spent intentional time with myself for personal growth
• spent intentional time with other educators for professional growth
• have been working more intentionally on new projects that I can’t wait to share with you.

Here’s what you can look forward to in the upcoming months:

1. ​Decolonize Your Practice: Soon I will be retiring my current 8-week program and repurposing its content for future offers (I will tell you more in future emails).
2. ​1:1 consultation sessions: they are up and going. Dedicated individual time to focus on decolonizing the part of your practice that needs the most support right now.
3. ​Free Q&As (a.k.a. monthly decolonized consultation sessions): We’ve held a couple meetings already. These are small and supportive meetings that will help you find community with other liberation-focused therapists and healers.
4. Workshops: Lots of them coming later in the year. Click on the topic that interests you the most to make sure you are the first to know about them:
   • ​starting/having a liberatory praxis,
   • ​reviewing your values & decolonizing your professional/personal foundations,
   • ​healing from internalized oppression, deep identity work & connecting with others,
   • ​use of micro-power, using your inner resources, & resisting from within,
   • ​grief as liberation,
   • ​offering spaces of repair after rupture,
   • ​community care for healers & helpers,
   • ​stepping into your medicine -instead of using someone else’s-,
   • ​healing from white supremacy, and more!

I’m excited to reconnect and continue providing valuable content that supports your journey of unlearning oppressive/one-size-fits-all ways of healing and doing therapy.

Reply to this email if there are any specific topics or questions you’d like me to cover. Your feedback and engagement mean a lot to me 💛

Thank you for being here. I look forward to sharing more with you soon!

In community,

Silvana @ Decolonize Your Practice​
