Movement Partnerships
We support queer, trans, Jewish and/or BIPOC led teams and organizations in embodying their leadership, aligning their actions with purpose, and deepening their capacity to show up for relationships with land and life.
We incorporate a combination of political education, embodied practice, and facilitated discussion.
We can support your team in strengthening relationships, building power in your base, developing leaders, navigating conflict, and aligning your internal culture with your teams values and politics.
In working with organizations we can offer:
Initial assessments of organizational culture, practices, and dilemmas
Proposed work flow for increased coordination, efficacy, and connection
Embodied practice sessions (1:1 and all team)
Closing assessments around growth areas and next steps

Many of us come to movement seeking healing from the conditions we are fighting to change. In order to successfully grow our leaders, we must invest in their development — not just intellectually, but also somatically. We support leaders in moving through obstacles to more fully embody their power and potential.
-
Is your team, group, or organization struggling to move through disagreements, tensions, or addressing harm? Get support finding generative ways to navigate conflict while growing alongside each other.
-
Are you in a moment of reassessing your strategy? Or creating a new one? We can support in asking the questions and offering the structures that will get you to a clearer place of alignment in your organizational strategy.

The kind of rigid boundaries we inherit to keep ourselves safe through state based violence and oppression are not our only option. We need to be able to set boundaries in a range of ways including ones that maintain safety in connection; boundaries that are permeable and allow for a deepening of intimacy and growth in relationships. We need this in our organizing relationships, our romantic and/or sexual relationships, our familial relationships, our relationships with land, and all the other beings with whom we share space. In this workshop we will examine the roots of individualism in our bodies and histories. We will learn how to cultivate reciprocity and mutuality – to feel for our interdependence while also finding our edges.
E, healing justice organizer
“This training space was incredibly unique - to be able to bring all the different parts of myself as part of a collective finding our way to justice and freedom.”
L, grassroots organizer
Sanctuary Embodied created a space for me to understand myself more deeply. The facilitation teams ability to move through live conflict and issues inspired me to be bolder in my leadership, make mistakes, and learn from them in public. Our movement will be stronger from the collective experiences they're offering to learn together.
B, queer organizer
“It was a joy and a gift to practice with other queer and trans organizers under Eliana and Yashna's skilled coaching and facilitation. I'm walking away from the weekend with a greater capacity to meet uncertainty with an open heart, grounded feet and aliveness in my belly.”
