Practices for Thriving and Healing in Community With The California Institute of Integral Studies


We are connected to all things and the entire web of life. Every raindrop, blade of grass, bird taking flight, baby being born, ancestor transitioning, seed germinating, bear entering a cave to hibernate, whale migrating, and sea turtle resting on the shore. Even though we may know how interconnected we are to all things, we may experience periods of feeling isolated and disconnected. During these times it is essential for us to resist the urge to retreat into our disconnection and come back into community with one another. We must reach out, connect with compassion and openness, and practice alongside one another to heal from our past and present-day wounds now and into the future.  

Join spiritual teacher and social justice activist Michelle Cassandra Johnson for a transformative workshop exploring communing as a spiritual practice for personal and collective healing. Understand how to connect to ourselves and all beings, past, present, and future by working with the universal truth that we all come from each other. We are kin and community, and we thrive and heal in community.   

In this supportive, experiential workshop, Michelle weaves together contemplative and somatic practices, including pranayama, meditation, gentle movements, yoga nidra, ancestral practices, journaling, rituals, and community conversation. Leave with tools and skills for healing. Experience a sense of open-heartedness and a profound understanding of why prioritizing our individual and collective healing is essential.  

When we commune with one another with purpose, open hearts, and open spirits auspiciousness abounds.
