My gatherings invite deep, reflective discussions, dancing and other forms of movement, storytelling, skill sharing, or a vibrant mix of all the above.
About Me:
Christina Redondo
I grew up in a dysfunctional family. I've been in abusive relationships.
​
My major coping mechanisms included:
-people pleasing
-dissociative disorders
-fear of conflict and rejection
-addiction​
​
It took me 5 years of therapy before I realized I deserved better, and since then I've been on a chaotic and beautiful journey of self-discovery.
​
Unraveling years of neural programming is challenging, but I’m here to show you that it's possible to reconnect with your true self, to embrace failure, and to trust your journey.
​
Besides traditional talk therapy, I've found strength in:
-studying communication and conflict resolution
-"exposure therapy" via dance, storytelling and socializing
-learning and practicing the process of behavior change
-developing spiritual practices and connecting to a higher power
-unraveling our culture of colonialism, white supremacy and capitalism
​
This is why I bring people together. I know I'm not alone. ​
​
Gathering to bravely share what's relevant and what's painful is how we ignite healing and inspire real change in our communities. ​​​
