Inhale/Exhale is a healing space for organizers in the progressive and left space.

As organizers, we are committed to addressing our own trauma to be better leaders and people. This is important for the well-being of our ecosystem. This Inhale/Exhale we will focus on trauma and being trauma-informed. What is being trauma-informed? Come and discuss how to balance experiencing trauma and working with traumatized folx. Join us for February’s Inhale/Exhale that you don’t want to miss.

Please join Dr. Kynetta Sugar McFarlane (she/her), a clinical psychologist with over 15 years of working with traumatized families and the owner of Transformative Health, on ways to find balance.
