The healing circle

The Healing Circle (HC) program is a safe space that centers Hmong women and femme trauma, resilience, and healing processes by addressing the impacts that systems of power and oppression have on our minds, bodies, and spirit. The purpose of the HC is to build and reimagine alternatives to harmful systems, nurture our holistic wellbeing, and practice solidarity.

We invite you to share space

We welcome applications from HMong women and femme who are seeking a safe space for peer support, reflection, community care, and sharing lived experiences. Participants are encouraged to commit to all six sessions in order to build trust, practice solidarity, and form sustainable relationships. Our spring healing circle cycle consists of six sessions and is capped at seven participants. The HC will take place in Merced, bi-weekly on Friday’s from 6-8:00pm. We invite you to be in community with us.
