ABOUT The Healing Clinic
The HCC is excited to announce our in-person Healing Clinic "Tending Our Ancestral Wounds"! This year's clinic is intended to acknowledge and tend the wounds of colonial trauma passed in our DNA from our Ancestors, and compacted in our current experiences.
We know we are not meant to heal these wounds alone and offer this healing through the medicine of collective care. We offer these prayers to the creeks, rivers, oceans, waters of life, trusting that it will ripple out & contribute toward the collective healing of our ancestors.
At the clinic, attendees can receive no-cost healing modalities, such as massage therapy, energy healing, herbal medicine consultations, grief counseling, and more!
