About the Event
From immigration enforcement experiences with ICE to reclaiming your roots and resilience, this is a 4-week healing circle designed for individuals carrying the invisible weight of immigration trauma, systemic fear, and enforced silence. Whether you or your family have been directly impacted by ICE, deportation threats, detention, or the chronic fear of removal, this group offers a safe and empowering space to breathe, be seen, and begin to heal.
FRAMEWORK: SHAKTI Philosophy
Rooted in the SHAKTI framework (Safety, Healing, Acknowledgement, Kindred connection, Transformation, and Integration) this group blends modern trauma psychology with ancestral wisdom and community-based support.
Learnings
Participants will explore how trauma impacts the nervous system, reconnect with their stories without shame, and build emotional and somatic resilience. The group supports transforming isolation into connection, reclaiming identity and power, and practicing tools for calm, agency, and integration.
Who is this group for
This group is for immigrants of all statuses, adult children of immigrants, individuals or families impacted by ICE experiences, those navigating complex PTSD linked to systemic injustice, and allies seeking supportive community connection.
Expectations
This is an open, drop-in group meeting weekly for 90-minute in-person sessions in Culver City. Sessions incorporate somatic tools, narrative work, breathwork, and psychoeducation, and are led by culturally attuned, trauma-informed, and somatic therapists. Multilingual resources are available.
