I help therapists, healers, and space-holders bring decolonial and liberatory values into their work—so you’re not just saying you’re aligned… you’re actually practicing it. ⬆️ More integrity, more connection, more liberation. ⬇️ Less burnout, less performative wokeness, less colonial residue. If you want a practice where marginalized clients feel safe, seen, and honored—and you want to feel more grounded and intentional in your work—subscribe and join a growing community of practitioners doing this work differently. You practice can be liberatory-- let's get you there!

As I’m planning my next year of offerings (workshops, Q&As, mini e-courses, lesson plans, and all other communal experiences and exchanges) I’d love to know what would serve you best as you continue (or start) decolonizing your practice. Just hit reply and answer one or all of the following questions:
Looking forward to hearing from you 🌻 In community & in rest, Silvana @ Decolonize Your Practice PS. You are receiving this (pre-scheduled) email while I am preparing to take some time off. So it doesn’t address or reflect on anything that might be happening in the world at the moment (and I truly hope nothing major is happening… we’ve had plenty happen…). PPS. You can read previous Liberatory Letters here. Let's connect! |

Reader, A quick note—honoring my bandwidth… This Monday, the second Community Liberation Session for BIPoC clinicians took place. And tomorrow (Thursday), we gather for the second session for white-identified clinicians. Someone recently asked: "What space do I join if I’m half white and half BIPoC? Here’s my answer—one that might help you decide which space to join, and also support you if you’re thinking about offering your own affinity spaces: who are affinity spaces for? With care,...

April 2026 | issue #6 Reader, for a very long while, most “alternative*” healers have told me i have a problem with my throat chakra *yes—you know i personally wouldn’t call them alternative, even though that’s what we’ve been taught to call them. they became “alternative” in a western context where everything must be western-science-backed, western-researched, peer-reviewed, peer-approved… all uprooted, diluted, and bleached of its original ancestral meaning. so my throat chakra was...
