hello loves!

i've been working closely with rev angel (mndfl; transformative change) for years now on projects and programs focused on the work of embodiment, social justice, liberation, and healing race. the last couple years i've been training with a cohort of folks to offer coaching for participants in these programs (and beyond).

engaging in this work has been unspeakably valuable and pivotal in the healing of my own trauma, loosening my intense chronic pain and helping me feel more spacious, grounded, trusting, and confident in myself and my place in the world. it’s helped me believe that life and wholeness is possible for me in ways i seriously doubted most of my life. it's helped me feel purpose and direction in the midst of a world in poly-crisis. it's empowered me to be a more active, clear, effective agent of change in all walks of my life and career.

rev and members of the coaching cohort are about to attend a shaw method training in london. the training is grounded in the alexander technique (a powerful somatic modality) that will further the embodiment and healing work that has been supporting my pain and trauma-healing journey (and at the same time deepening my vocational skills and expertise as a somatic psychotherapist, facilitator, and agent of transformational change and liberation). a widely distinguished alexander technique teacher has just stepped on to co-facilitate the training especially for our group. additionally, rev angel will be weaving in training for us on breath/embodiment as part of our ongoing development.

this is an incredibly unique opportunity that would support me personally in deeply meaningful ways- the healing of my body and heartmind and the growth of my capacity and skllfulness to do even more effective work in service of personal and collective healing and transformation in my communities, including supporting rev angel’s incredible body of work.

i've had to step back from my work in fitness over the last few years to focus on my healing and am currently looking for more work to finish my clinical hours for licensure as an mft and start paying off debt. any contribution you could make and/or encourage anyone in your circles to offer would be soooo deeply appreciated!!!!

[some folks have asked to send support directly rather than through this platform, which takes a small fee. feel free to message me if you prefer this- 'contact organizer' below]

program fees total ~$1,300usd. i have nearly enough miles to cover flights (~$1,000), but if i can raise extra and cover flights, this will let me use those miles to go visit my nieces and nephew in the midwest later this year (i’d also welcome contributions in the form of miles/travel support!). <3 anything beyond that i’d put toward shared housing costs and food while i am there.

everything and anything you can offer, encouragement and lovenotes, $1000, $1, $25, sharing with family and friends- all is so appreciated. :)

thank you for being in my life! may love free us all, to ourselves, to each other, and to the world we yearn to become <3

with great warmth,

willi.
