LISTENING

FOR LEGACY

Trauma-informed consultation and facilitation services that support deeper listening, greater self-reflective capacity, and systems change

Self-interrogative work is justice work.

When we know ourselves better, we are less likely to project our pain onto others.

  • We are never just two people in the present moment in love, in conversation, in conflict, or at war.

  • We are two people, at a full table — in the company of ancestors and ghosts.

  • Through us, they speak. They pain. They grieve. They humble us. And they light the way.

  • Listening for Legacy guides people in conversations that travel below the surface — where we honor the past’s impact on our present ways of relating.

Listening for Legacy offers an experiential practice rooted in:

 

Learning to slow down — to pause and notice the thoughts, feelings, and sensations happening within

and, from this newfound awareness,

begin to explore the underlying messages and conditioning that influence our inner and outer relations,

so we can intentionally

invest in self-awareness and accountability — as a movement towards justice and responsibility in relationships.

This practice comes to life in community — by finding ourselves and one another.

  • Consultation Services for Mental Health Professionals

    As clinicians and supervisors providing care, we are our greatest tools. We use ourselves and relationship to co-create and make meaning with others. Therefore, our psyches need a particular tending to and support.

    What gets stirred inside when intimately working with others needs our supreme attention. This information is golden. It is cellular knowledge — something we can register only by turning inward and tuning into our senses.

    Respecting the impact of intergenerational and historical trauma work is vital in caring for ourselves and the people we serve. Depth-oriented consultation can provide space and holding for this type of exploration.

  • Consultation and Facilitation Services for Organizations

    Workplaces are microcosms of our larger world, where acts of devaluation and projection play out regularly — often with little regard for and reflection on their relational impact.

    Organizations are similar to family systems, in that unspoken power dynamics and unresolved historical wounding influence interpersonal patterns of relating.

    With an experiential practice, we can do the internal work necessary to deepen our understanding of why we act and react in the ways we do. Building this psychological muscle and foundation generates a robust capacity to interpersonally engage and humanize one another.

We need companioning to experience the process of waking up. We must go inward, to move outward.
