With reverence, creativity, freedom of expression, mindfulness, movement, playfulness, joyful curiosity, and somatic resourcing we shall support one another as each woman discovers her own heroic journey to Empowerment.

ilahi ehieh CMT, CYT, has been co-leading support groups for survivors of sexual assault for the past 4 years with San Francisco Women Against Rape. Although she is dedicated to the empowerment of all women, she has created this workshop for Women of Color because of the particular challenges to personal empowerment that we face as minorities in this society. She draws from her education in somatic psychology, embodied spirituality and shamanic practices. Currently, she is pursuing a Master’s in Somatic Psychology at John F. Kennedy University. Her focus is psycho-spiritual approaches to healing trauma.
