Community Healing
To create community healing, Rootead utilizes intercultural experiences while also creating intentional spaces for LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities. Some tools used for community healing include Drum & Dance, Yoga & Meditation, and Wellness-Based programming.
Upcoming Community Healing Events
Community healing is a dynamic process
that continues to evolve through experimentation and learning but, regardless of the process chosen by a community, the goal of healing is to restore a sense of balance and wellness within the victim, offender, their families and the community.
