Sound bath meditations provide participants an opportunity to reconnect and nurture their spirits through the power of sound. Sound healing promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and enhances overall well-being. During a session, participants will be immersed in soothing sounds and vibrations from various instruments, to help enter a meditative state.
This is a powerful meditative practice that can release stuck energy and emotions. It is accessible to a wide range of people, including those with physical and mental disabilities, as well as those who have survived traumatic situations. This inclusive approach makes sound healing a valuable tool for promoting relaxation and emotional well-being across many identities and experiences.
Sound Healing
Designed to offer a safe, inclusive, and healing space where participants can connect with themselves and each other. These sessions are rooted in the understanding that trauma affects not only the mind, but the body and spirit as well. Through gentle, accessible movement, breathwork, reflective journaling practices, check-ins, and moments of collective witnessing.
The intention is not just physical healing, but to create a space where each person feels seen, valued, and empowered to reclaim their body, mind, and spirit. We emphasize gentle, supportive practices that allow participants to move at their own pace, honoring their needs and boundaries.
In honoring the ways trauma creates separation—not just in the body, mind, and spirit, but also in our connections with others—our trauma-informed yoga groups focus on relationship-building as a core practice of healing.

Acu-Detox: A Path to Healing and Liberation
Acu-Detox is a deeply transformative healing modality with powerful roots in the liberation movements of the 1970s, particularly within the Black Panther and Young Lords parties. Developed as a response to the trauma and addiction that was tearing communities apart, Acu-Detox uses a simple yet profound five-needle protocol to help individuals address both physical and emotional challenges. The approach was intentionally made accessible to lay practitioners, making it a grassroots tool for collective healing, and a powerful remedy for both personal and community-wide trauma.
During a typical 45-minute session, fine needles are placed in five key points on the ears, stimulating the body's natural detoxification pathways and promoting a sense of balance and well-being. This gentle treatment has been shown to support detoxification, reduce stress, ease emotional tension, and help manage cravings, making it particularly effective for individuals healing from trauma, addiction, and the effects of systemic oppression.
Acu-Detox is not just about cleansing the body; it’s about creating space for emotional healing. By helping release the deep-seated stress and emotional wounds often caused by trauma, Acu-Detox offers a safe and accessible way to begin healing from within. Whether you are seeking relief from trauma experiences, managing stress, or simply looking to refresh and rejuvenate, Acu-Detox provides an empowering and holistic path toward well-being.
This treatment is ideal for anyone seeking to address the impact of trauma—whether personal, collective, or historical—offering a compassionate approach to recovery and healing. With its roots in social justice and community support, Acu-Detox is a tool for liberation, offering healing not just for the individual but for the broader community as well.
