The Corazon 7 team cultivated a Healing Sanctuary space—a space where folks could slow down, breathe, and come back into their bodies. Participants moved gently through six stations, each crafted with intention for this gathering:
Our Approach to Gatherings We are the balm. We support folks so they can support themselves. We practice grief. The entire space becomes an altar, and people leave with medicine they can carry forward. Each gathering we co-create is designed specifically for the community and moment we're serving—honoring what's needed, what's sacred, and what will sustain the work.
