EDUCATION
So much of our work as activists centers around dismantling the systems that continue to oppress marginalized people. One of the best ways to break these systems down is through education.
Soul House Wellness works with other wellness practitioners, activists, and businesses, giving them the opportunity to educate themselves and learn more about these sacred practices’ roots and authentic ways to honor them while evolving in our own practice. This is accomplished through building personalized courses designed to achieve the specific goals of each client.
​
Course topics include anti-racism and social justice in wellness spaces, decolonizing wellness, death care education and advocacy and more.

DECOLONIZING WELLNESS
Most wellness practitioners today have colonized the fields they operate in and are teaching and leading practices that are not indigenous to their own cultures. Soul House strongly believes in not only making clear and celebrating the roots of these ancient arts but in making sure to honor their ancestors by providing education to other students and practitioners. The more we learn about our history, the less likely we are to repeat it.
​
Our Decolonizing Wellness course looks at popular holistic wellness practices with a critical eye, examining where these practices originated and how they have veered away from their traditional roots, for better or for worse. We will explore the impact of colonization and how these changes affect traditional teachers and their students. Participants will be encouraged to examine their own role in colonization and think of practical ways to decolonize their own practice.
