As mentors, healers, doulas, nurses, pastors, organizers, and mental health partners, we are always growing on purpose to keep pace with the community we serve, and growURpotential is honored to host this collaborative space for Healing Justice Warriors. We trust that healing work is labor and that ongoing resources keep us glowing.
It has long been understood that Acting, Performance Training, and Play Therapy help bodies move into states of confidence and wellbeing better than talking. Activities like Improv, Forum Theatre, and Games With Strangers help bodies move into confident agility, ease at optimism, and increased empathy. When healers trust that emotional labor is clean pain, they show up for healing work refreshed more often.
These opportunities are for YOU if:
-
YOU like Mindfulness and want to expand Self-care Confidence
-
YOU trust Whole Body approaches to wellbeing like Yoga and Swimming
-
YOU seek a community of Healers that serve Social Justice and Healing Justice priorities

More about the LIVE events activities
Character Development comes from the school of thought for authors. Stories are about people, and writers use training related to bring their imaginations to life in the characters they develop. This same training helps us practice pulling our won imaginations into clarity and focus. If you can see it, you can create it. All bodily activities that elevate awareness of our embodied wisdom is worth the investment. We invite any who self-identify as a Healing Justice Care Partner to join us in this experience oriented opportunity.
