Regardless of what the official and social outcomes of the upcoming elections are, our communities are holding alot of concern for the future of our collective governance and our collective safety. We don't know exactly what will be occurring in the streets and in our hearts after Nov 5, but we can predict that there will be high emotions and public displays of unrest, no matter the outcome of the elections. In order to nurture our nervous systems and ground ourselves in our cultural resilience, HCC is offering this post-elections space where we will engage an ancestral practice, using clay to shed anxiety and dense energies, and ground ourselves in the Earth's ability to hold us completely.

About Healing Clinic Collective: 

The central intention of the Healing Clinic Collective is to plant the seed for a return to the Sacred. We aim to encourage re-engagement to a sacred way of relating to ourselves as whole people. We aim to restore reverence and relationship to ancestral forms of healing and wellness that come from world views rooted in cultural understandings and expressions of love, interconnectedness, and regenerative relationship to both people and the Earth. Systemic forms of institutionalized discrimination, social abandonment and economic exclusion continue to result in high rates of trauma and spiritual crisis experienced by poor and oppressed peoples. These spiritual and emotional traumas manifest as a wide range of health conditions and illnesses that must be addressed in a holistic way that mirrors the complexity of their source. The HCC sees it’s work as a way to ensure that people who desire natural/traditional healing modalities can access them for ongoing care. For this reason, the Healing Clinic Collective has developed a Network of over 100 natural,  traditional wellness practitioners and healers that offer their services for free at our Healing Clinics and for free/sliding scale when referred to them through the HCC.
