Conversations about mental health are becoming more common, but stigma still prevents many people from asking for help or even knowing where to begin. In professional settings, this can lead to burnout, disconnection, and decreased morale.

This workshop invites your team into an honest, thoughtful conversation about how mental health stigma developed in the United States and how cultural norms continue to shape the way we talk (or don’t talk) about emotional well-being. Together, we explore how these narratives influence workplace dynamics and what it takes to build a more supportive environment for all employees.

Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of mental health stigma, along with tools and resources they can use to care for themselves and support their colleagues. Whether you're looking to strengthen team culture or support your employees' well-being, this workshop offers a valuable foundation for lasting change.

“Safe space” has become a common phrase in many organizational settings—but what does it actually mean to create a space where people feel seen, respected, and supported?

This workshop is designed for leaders, teams, and organizations committed to moving beyond surface-level commitments and toward the real work of cultivating safer, more inclusive environments. Together, we’ll explore what makes a space feel safe for different people, why safety looks different across identities and lived experiences, and how power dynamics can either support or erode trust.

Participants will gain tools and frameworks to:

• Understand the difference between declared safety and experienced safety

• Recognize the role of identity, power, and history in shaping what people need to feel safe

• Identify barriers to safety that often go unaddressed in organizational settings

• Develop intentional practices that foster ongoing accountability and inclusion

By the end of the session, participants will walk away with a clearer understanding of what it means to build safety rather than just declare it—and how to embed those values into everyday workplace culture.

Who we are is shaped by many factors—race, gender, sexuality, class, ability, culture, and more. These identities don’t exist in isolation; they overlap, inform one another, and influence how we move through the world. They also shape how we are perceived, treated, and positioned within systems of power.

This workshop offers participants a space to reflect on the complexity of their own identities and how those identities interact in everyday life. Through guided exercises and group discussion, we’ll explore the concept of intersectionality and how it helps us better understand individual experience, collective struggle, and the importance of inclusion.

Participants will:

• Identify the different social identities that shape their personal and professional experiences

• Explore how those identities intersect and impact their sense of self, belonging, and power

• Learn how systems of privilege and oppression influence how we show up—and are received—in the world

• Build awareness and empathy across differences, strengthening team culture and mutual respect

This session is ideal for teams looking to deepen their understanding of identity, develop inclusive practices, and foster stronger interpersonal and community connections at work.

Grief is not just a personal experience—it is a collective one. In times of crisis, transition, or ongoing societal harm, unacknowledged grief can quietly shape workplace dynamics, team morale, and overall wellness. Yet many organizations are not equipped with the language, tools, or practices needed to support staff through individual or collective loss.

This two-part workshop series is designed to help organizations build capacity for acknowledging and navigating grief in ways that are compassionate, sustainable, and culturally responsive. Each session is tailored to a specific audience to ensure relevance and depth of support.

Part One: Supporting Staff Through Grief (For Organizational Leaders and Managers)
This workshop offers tools and strategies for supervisors, HR teams, and organizational leaders to recognize and respond to grief in the workplace. Participants will learn how to hold space for grief while maintaining clarity around workplace expectations, how to avoid unintentionally harmful responses, and how to foster a culture of care.

Part Two: Grieving and Grounding (For General Staff and Team Members)
This workshop provides a dedicated space for staff to process their experiences of grief, loss, and burnout. Through reflection, guided exercises, and dialogue, participants will explore practices of radical self-care, emotional regulation, and community support.

Workshops can be booked separately or together. When offered as a full series, organizations benefit from a more integrated approach to healing, where both leadership and staff build a shared language and commitment to workplace wellness.

Participants will walk away with:

• A deeper understanding of collective grief and how it impacts workplace culture

• Skills for naming and holding space for grief without pathologizing it

• Culturally aware approaches to care, rest, and emotional sustainability

• Tools to create more responsive, human-centered workplaces during times of difficulty

Oppression is often spoken about in broad terms, but many people lack the foundational language and tools to recognize how it shows up in everyday life—especially in workplaces, institutions, and communities. This entry-level workshop provides a clear, accessible introduction to what oppression is, how it functions, and why it matters.

Participants will explore the different forms of oppression—individual, interpersonal, institutional, and systemic—and learn how these layers interact across time and place. We’ll examine the ways systems of power impact marginalized communities and how various aspects of identity (such as race, gender, class, sexuality, and ability) intersect to shape our experiences.

This session offers a grounding in key concepts such as:

• The difference between prejudice, discrimination, and systemic oppression

• How dominant narratives and institutions uphold inequality

• The role of intersectionality in understanding identity and power

• How oppression evolves and adapts across generations

By the end of the session, participants will be able to identify the core types of oppression, better understand how power operates across systems, and begin developing the awareness needed to build more inclusive and equitable workplaces.

In fast-paced, productivity-driven environments, many of us forget how essential play is to our well-being. Reconnecting with our inner child isn’t just about nostalgia—it’s about reclaiming joy, imagination, and the emotional space we need to thrive.

This workshop invites participants to explore the healing power of play and the role it can serve in creating more sustainable and life-affirming practices at work and beyond. By tapping into curiosity, creativity, and presence, we’ll reflect on how our inner child can help us access rest, joy, and renewal in our daily lives.

Participants will:

• Understand how the concept of the “inner child” connects to mental health and emotional wellness

• Explore the link between play, creativity, and nervous system regulation

• Engage in reflective and experiential exercises designed to foster lightness, presence, and self-compassion

• Learn ways to integrate moments of rest and play into their personal and professional routines

This workshop is ideal for organizations seeking to support staff well-being, prevent burnout, and cultivate a more connected and imaginative team culture.

Many of the standards we associate with “professionalism” are deeply rooted in white supremacist values that prioritize conformity, hierarchy, and control. These standards don’t just shape workplace culture—they often marginalize employees of color, especially those who do not or cannot fit into narrow expectations of behavior, appearance, and communication.

This workshop invites participants to critically examine the history of professionalism in the U.S. and how it has been shaped by systems of racism. Through guided reflection and open dialogue, we explore how current workplace norms may reinforce inequality and what it takes to create more inclusive, equity-centered work environments.

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

• Recognize how racism shows up in common professional practices and policies

• Understand how white supremacy culture influences workplace expectations

• Begin building strategies for creating safer, more equitable spaces for all team members

This workshop is ideal for teams committed to equity, inclusion, and actively reimagining what it means to show up with integrity at work.

What does it really mean to be an ally? And who gets to decide?

This introductory workshop invites participants to examine and reshape their understanding of allyship—moving beyond intention and into consistent, accountable action. Rather than seeing allyship as a static identity or self-proclaimed title, we explore it as an ongoing practice rooted in solidarity, humility, and a commitment to protecting and centering those most impacted by oppression.

Facilitated in honor of Pride Month, this session focuses specifically on queer allyship. Participants will engage in honest conversations around power, privilege, and how social systems impact queer lives. Together, we’ll reflect on how to show up in meaningful ways for queer communities at work, in social spaces, and beyond the month of June.

By the end of the workshop, participants will:

• Develop a deeper understanding of what allyship requires across different contexts

• Explore the difference between performative and accountable allyship

• Learn actionable strategies for supporting LGBTQ+ people in personal and professional settings

• Reflect on their own power, positionality, and areas for continued growth

This workshop is ideal for individuals, teams, and companies seeking to move past symbolic gestures and toward everyday practices that create real impact.

Microaggressions are often dismissed as small slights or misunderstandings, but their cumulative impact can deeply affect workplace culture, employee well-being, and organizational trust. Left unaddressed, they contribute to environments where exclusion, bias, and harm go unspoken and unresolved.

This introductory and interactive workshop offers participants a clear understanding of what microaggressions are, how they show up in everyday interactions, and why addressing them matters. Together, we’ll explore the language, behaviors, and patterns that often go unchecked—and discuss actionable steps for repair, accountability, and cultural change.

Participants will:

• Learn the definition of microaggressions and recognize the various forms they can take

• Explore the emotional, psychological, and professional impact of microaggressions on individuals and teams

• Practice strategies for responding to microaggressions with clarity and care—whether as the person impacted, the person who caused harm, or a bystander

• Understand the risks of silence and the long-term cost of inaction

This session is ideal for teams, HR professionals, and leadership committed to fostering more inclusive, respectful, and equity-centered workspaces.
