A 90-min workshop for communities seeking support around ICE— with mindfulness tools, somatic support, and legal-advising.
Amidst escalating ICE raids and growing threats to our neighbors, we’re at a threshold—one that calls for deeper activism rooted in protection, solidarity, and collective liberation.
In response, we’re offering a 90-minute workshop grounded in trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and community resilience. This session provides a supportive space to breathe, process, and plan with dignity and agency—while also connecting you to somatic tools, therapeutic-adjacent support, and legal-advising resources. Whether you’re directly impacted, supporting a loved one, or organizing for safety, you don’t have to navigate this moment alone. Come as you are. Leave with practical tools, clearer next steps, and a stronger sense of grounded support.
Care is strategy—and we’re building it together.
Facilitators:
Dr. Shalini Bahl, Ph.D (she/her), founder of Sama Life, teaches practical mindfulness skills that help people work with stress, interrupt default patterns under pressure, and respond with clarity and care. An educator, certified MBSR and Search Inside Yourself teacher, author of Return to Mindfulness, and former town councilor, she brings an integrated approach that helps people listen more deeply, trust inner intelligence, and design their lives with greater agency and skill.
Laureen Andalib (they/them), founder of Studio Somatics, is an interdisciplinary storyteller and trauma-informed educator passionate about equipping youth and communities with the tools they need to thrive amidst violence, uncertainty, and adverse political climates. Laureen holds a BFA ('17) from Cornell University and MDes ('23) from Harvard Graduate School of Design.
Proceeds donated to communities impacted by ICE.
