Rooted in Relationship
Relationships shape us
Relationships can bring beauty and safety. We believe that as human beings, connection is our context. Relationships of all kinds are where we learn who we are and how to live and move in the world. Sometimes what we learn is good and helpful, like riding a bike, how to care for another, and learning who we are.
Relationships can also hurt
Relationships can bring pain and disconnect. Other times, the messages we encounter are less helpful. They can leave us with hard feelings around our lived experience in our body, identity, or sexuality, causing us to shut down, bringing some of our darkest thoughts and the wounds we’d rather not revisit.
Healing happens in safe relationship
When relationships are tragic, we believe that a return to relationship is the best context in which to heal. Everyone’s journey is unique, and all humans struggle. People need a safe space to meet challenges and grow, free from judgment. It cannot be done alone.
