When organizations’ internal cultures are strong and healthy, they are better poised to live into their missions and create sustainable change. STRONGHOLD offers brave, skillful, and embodied racial justice and restorative justice training and facilitation.

We work at the intersection of racial justice and restorative justice and understand restorative justice as a paradigm shift from punitive justice that can repair harm at the individual, community and systemic levels. In our work, we utilize embodied practices designed to reckon with, take accountability for, and heal harm. We apply these practices to our efforts to heal trauma linked to white supremacy and structural oppression. We strive to co-create accountable communities of belonging.

Our goal is to provide individuals and organizations with skills and practices that persist long beyond our engagement into the future.  We seek funding from partners and foundations who share our conviction that healing justice at every level advances racial justice.

We have seen and felt in our bones, bodies, and lived experiences the life-giving and transformative impact of this work. We practice and witness every day the ways in which healing justice advances racial, economic, gender and environmental justice, and much more. Join us in commitment to this as joyful, creative, and embodied justice work. We look forward to practicing with you.
