The Mellow Cactus

by SHUNPIKE

Our Why: Direct service providers are often under-resourced, overworked and dealing with chronic stress, burnout and vicarious trauma. As more organizations move towards hiring those of us who also have lived experience in our fields, our trauma impact increases exponentially.

Our "build your own healing arts toolkit" workshops use movement, visual arts, music, mediation and improv to teach participants resilience-building tools for self-care and wellness. Our workshops are provided at little to no cost for staff and volunteers who work in the following fields: Race and Equity, Social Work, Healthcare, Peer Support, Education and Public Service. This trauma-informed workshop series invites participants into a small community workshop setting where they can explore tools and build their own healing arts toolkit.
