What does your decolonial practice need in 2026?


Reader,

Short and sweet because I want your input.

As I map out next year’s offerings — workshops, Q&As, learning circles, mini-courses, communal practice spaces — I want to hear directly from you. What do you need as you keep unlearning colonial frameworks and building a practice (and reconnecting with a self) rooted in liberation, justice, and collective care?

Just hit reply and answer one or all of these:

Questions

  • Where are you struggling most in bringing your liberatory, anti-oppressive, or decolonial values into your actual day-to-day practice?
  • What situations or patterns keep pulling you back into colonial, pathologizing, or individualistic ways of working — even when you know better?
  • Where do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or alone in this work?
  • What feels confusing about how to begin (or continue) decolonizing your practice?
  • If you could ask me one thing and have me speak directly into it, what would it be?
  • What support, structure, or guidance would make it easier for you to stay aligned with the therapist/healer you’re trying to become?

This is your chance to shape what I create next year.
What you share genuinely impacts what I offer.

I’d love to hear from you when I am back. 💛

In community,

Silvana

Liberatory Letters

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!

January 2026 Reader, Let’s talk about licensure. The dark side of it...The felt version. This one is for any helper, healer, or space-holder who, after college or grad school, had to sit through a multi-hour, multi-question exam that measured (let’s be honest) your ability to memorize things. Not your presence.Not your ability to connect.Not your humanity.Not your capacity to feel, empathize, hold space, or stay with someone when things get messy. Just memory.And endurance. What does studying...
