The ongoing effects of the pandemic and systemic racism continue to take a toll on people’s mental health and make it imperative for us to lean into collective care practices. It can become increasingly difficult to show up for our communities in the ways we would like and are needed if we are not well. How do we notice when we are not well, and what role do ancestral healing practices and wisdom play in helping ground ourselves back to the center? Join SoCal Grantmakers and the Indigenous Circle of Wellness for an evolve workshop that centers collective healing and personal care through discussion focused on understanding Indigenous core values and integrating holistic wellness practices. This workshop will help you gain an understanding of Indigenous values, balance and sustainability as individuals to support personal wellness and interconnectedness with our communities.
Throughout the session, participants will:
Gain understanding of Indigenous core values, balance, and sustainability
Identify how cultural teachings inform our everyday actions and provide a strengths-based approach to holistic wellness
Deepen understanding of how accountability (responsibility) is vital to self, community, and our interdependence
Build relations to uplift our inherent strength and interconnectedness as we look ahead and continue to support one another and the larger community
**This workshop is one of two offerings SCG’s evolve team are proud to partner with the Indigenous Circe of Wellness. Please also check out Supporting Mental Health and Wellness in the Workplace on Tuesday, May 23rd. evolve is SCG’s suite of programming that champions transformational leadership.
