Community Healing Council with Carol Cano and Dean Hoaglin - Sunday, December 21, 2025
Description
Community Healing Council
with Carol Cano and Dean Hoaglin
Sunday, December 21st from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm Pacific Time
Online via Zoom
About the Session:
In most cultures, the symbol of a circle represents wholeness, and the potential for unity. When we come together as an intentional community, for personal development and healing, we are honoring the sacred. We will cultivate the collective practice of listening, witnessing, and holding space for the whole as we heal ourselves by acknowledging what needs to be healed. We will work with the Seasons, Elements, and Nature as direct mirrors for the healing process. Indigenous cultures recognize that the healing of self is connected to the whole community.
The council is a sacred space where we can practice being in community in an open, authentic, and compassionate way.
Reciprocity Contribution:
We gratefully welcome donations of any amount that feels meaningful to you. Your donation at registration directly supports Braided Wisdom's ability to continue cultivating spaces of healing, learning, and collective care. Everyone is welcome, regardless of ability to contribute.
Setting the Container:
We request participants attend the whole program to respect the group and the teachers, and ask for your support with creating a sacred container by arriving to the session on time as the zoom room will close at 10:15 am PT.
At Braided Wisdom, we strive to cultivate an online space that supports connection, presence, and collective care. While we invite participants to have their cameras on to help nurture a sense of community, we wholeheartedly honor that there are many reasons someone may choose otherwise. We encourage you to meet yourself where you are, and if any needs arise around this, you’re warmly invited to reach out to us at info@braidedwisdom.org.
