Reader, You are receiving this (pre-scheduled) email while I transition back from a break. So it doesn’t address or reflect on anything that might be happening in the world at the moment. (And honestly, I’m really hoping nothing major is happening… because we’ve all had plenty happen already.) These are some of the people I started following this year. They’re far from being your traditional therapy resource. None of them are therapists (in the Western sense), but they are IMHO amazing healers and educators with lived experience and attuned to their communities.
And this is a tiny sample of my list from last year:
If you decide to follow them and learn from then, please consider supporting them (like, share, tag, comment, donate) and not just using their content 💛 Are there any people or educators you follow? Hit reply and let me know who they are to share their work! In community and in sharing knowledge and lived experience, Silvana @ Decolonize Your Practice PS. You can read previous Liberatory Letters here. PPS. Happy Lunar New Year! Let's connect! |
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!

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,...
Reader, We meet next week for the second round of Community Liberation Sessions.These are affinity spaces. The group of BIPOC clinicians will meet on Monday, Apr 20 — 3pm PT / 6pm ETThe group of white-identified clinicians will meet on Thursday, Apr 23 — 2pm PT / 5pm ET So… why affinity? Because shared identity can create shared context and accountability.And shared context can create something we don’t often get elsewhere: Less explaining, less code-switching, less managing how we’re...
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...
