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,

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!

Reader, A quick update on what I've been up to: 🛋️ The Practice of Liberation is where I offer a quieter, slower, more intimate space and deeper look into what decolonizing my work, my connections, and myself actually looks like.It grew from the same intention as Liberatory Letters, but moves with a more tender, gentler, introspective pace — one that centers who we are, how we practice, and what liberation looks like in daily life.It’s meant for those ready to practice liberation in real...

Reader, We talk a lot about “success” at the end of the year — how much we achieved, how much we accomplished, how many milestones we hit. But if we’re honest, most of us inherited a definition of success that was never ours to begin with. Success, for many of us, was shaped by systems that taught our families that safety had to be earned. That rest was conditional. That slowing down was dangerous. That productivity was proactivity.There is nothing wrong with wanting more: more ease, more...
