You've heard the saying, right? Before you can help others, you must be aight.

Well, that's dr candi's version of putting on your own mask before you help others.

Whatever version of this wisdom that speaks to you, the point is ... we want you well because we want you free, fully free. We want you whole, healthy, happy. So we've got some resources + some reflections to help you heal in the places that may be out of balance right now.

1st tho, if there's anything immediate going on tap Urgent Care/Crisis Resources

If all is relatively well, and you want to explore more, keep scrolling ...

Healing is necessary for full freedom.

Any/all areas of who we are could need some level of healing at any time:

• emotionally
• mentally/psychologically
• spiritually
• physically

Tap on any/all of them to learn more, and to explore resources that can help with your needs. Speaking of resources ...

Resources, justice, and faith are necessary to heal in any of these areas, and especially from intergenerational/epigenetic wounds.

We're particularly interested in these kinds of wounds because they run deep ... and often healing eludes us because we're not aware of what's causing the kinds of pain, acting out, etc. we're experiencing. Also sometimes we do not want to face these situations +/or people.

When it's safe, and when it's time, the Arts provides the most profound + poignant pathways into these elusive areas that are calling for our attention - so that we can (finally) heal.

candi dugas collective specializes in storytelling artforms in safer + supportive spaces to facilitate the healing we need. We shape today-narratives while honoring tradition's wisdom + persistence. By thoughtfully infusing our work with alternative approaches to recognizable issues, we shift forward in meaningful ways, allowing our healing to be progressive and sustainable.

This is contemplative creativity™.

Once we heal, we affect the ability + create the capacity to live into the fullness of freedom that's previously been elusive. We have room now to manifest dreams, and to hold onto progress long enough to hand it off intact to our descendants as foundation inheritance. They can build further from there

Our approach to freedom produces both intangible and tangible results that last. Explore our resources (general, and specific to justice + faith) below + connect!
