Holistic care resources
We are in a time of great transition that is not only affecting our jobs and health but also having immense impact on our psychological, emotional and energetic constitution. The effects will be with us for many seasons to come, even after quarantine has lifted. The good news is, WE ARE BUILT FOR CHANGE, including what we are facing now, it does require attending to all aspects of ourselves, as well as basic survival. Here is a list of Brownswell partners and recommended resources to offer holistic support from our root, to our hearts, to our crown, as we resurrect our ability to move through this change with power, ground, vision and creativity. I have personal experience with and deep respect for the individuals and orgranizations I have listed. They have all offered a village of support and wisdom for me during harrowing times and continue to do so now. Take time to sense in to whether they resonate with you as well. Many blessings.
