Safe House Seven Groups

Safe House Seven is a psycho-spiritual protocol that is rooted in the perspectives and technologies of Isese, ancient West African Yoruba spiritual traditions, with western therapeutic praxis. Inspired by the underground railroad, Safe House Seven treats mental health as a collective and liberatory project.The protocol was developed to create a space for marginalized communities to restore into a more balanced relationship with deeper aspects of oneself, others and the planet. Safe House Seven comprises seven “thresholds” or concentrations that incorporate: ancestral acknowledgment and exploring multigenerational legacies, intrapsychic harmony of the Self , oracular practices, earth based communion, applied intragration, reciprocity as ritual and collective grief transmutation ceremonies. This is a healing modality that centers on relationship far beyond the therapuetic alliance to include a multivalent understanding of ourselves and what it means to be whole.

Groups can comprise to up to 12 members and last anywhere from 4-9months depending on frequency. The groups are generally conducted in-person with virtual 1 hour check-ins in between sessions. They incorporate storytelling, art processes, family constellation work, journal writing, elemental / earth based practices all within a group setting. Groups are generally formed in partnership with communities who have gathered a group of individuals ready to commit to to this process together.
