a brief history

At S.L.O.W presence, I believe in the magic of coming together. i see the power of sacred accompaniment while engaging in deeper communal healing and transformative justice. individually, when we come together we support each other’s work and presence. we also offer a vast collective of healers who come together to co-create systemic healing.

this inspiration came from the Breathe network, where I serve as a volunteer board member.

you are welcome to join by filling out the form below to show your interest. at present there are no fees to join, but when we grow, we will have a nominal fee to support and coordinate technology and administration.
