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

This email was pre-scheduled because I’m currently hibernating. So if something big is happening in the world right now, this may not address it — but I’m holding you with care regardless.

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!

page of a book that reads "productivity"

March 2026 Reader, At the end of the Gregorian year, I took a full month off from therapy clients. And I actually took time off. I didn’t check my work email, I disconnected completely, and I left out-of-office messages everywhere they could possibly live. I intentionally didn’t plan a vacation. I stayed home to, I guess, hang out with myself. No specific plans. No productivity goals. No “use this time wisely” strategy. Just a stack of books that I promised myself I would peruse, not finish...
