Who Will Heal the Healers?

1pm ET · 12pm CT · 11am MT · 10am PT
With Elizabeth Summers

We are still in the Covid crisis and we’ve seen the toll of gun violence on our communities. It is essential that we have some wellness strategies and support solutions in place to support ourselves, each other and the communities we serve.

For this workshop you will (re)learn how to breathe and do some yoga stretches for stress reduction.
I will teach you tricks for learning, practicing and achieving Grace Under Pressure.

We will talk about Establishing and Re-Establishing Boundaries with family, friends and The Workplace. Learn how to manage Emotional, Physical and Time Budgets

At the end we will all create a personal mantra. A personal mantra is a positive phrase, an affirmation inspire you to be your best self. Its purpose is to provide motivation and encouragement to you when you you need it the most and when you need to remember who you really are.

Note: The first 30 registrants will receive a DoorDash gift card for lunch

Our events have limited capacity. We will confirm your registration. If Zoom does not allow you to register for an event, please email Jenna at Jenna@thepraxisproject.org to be added to the session waitlist.

*Roots & Remedies is a closed convening for organizations and community organizers that are a part of Praxis’ network.

I am an Art Evangelist, a zealous advocate of art and writing for healing. Who I am is a Crusader on a Mission: To Build Connection and Community through the arts. I’ve taught K-12. Creative writing and drama in public and private schools all over the San Francisco Bay Area. I’ve been a lecturer at Stanford University, UC Berkeley and SF City College. I have taught Expressive Arts, creative writing, created and directed Page to Stage theatre productions to incarcerated, unhoused families and mentally ill populations for more years than 30 years. I created the Write for Your Life program at SF General for people with HIV/AIDS. I took a group of young people on a tour of the Eastern United States, to do a production on being incarcerated. I’ve done lecture demonstrations with Probation and Parole Officers, Judges, and Law Enforcement across the country on the importance of art for incarcerated people, sponsored by the Justice Department.

Currently I lead a Healing Circle for Black women in the community, many of whom have lost their children to Police and or gun violence. I also teach a storytelling, Radical Self-Care class for Elders. The main purpose has been to break isolation during Covid and to continue to increasing the feeling of being valued members of the community.
