Our Approach
We’re at the forefront
of the movement…
Our Style
Soul-Sensitive Care
Our commitment to holding space that is trauma-sensitive, nervous system informed, honors ancestral and lived experiences, and empowers each individual’s inherent ability to create change. Soul-Sensitive Care intends to create an environment to reconnect with what the body knows & soul remembers.
The Soul-Sensitive Framework
Polyvagal Theory
We acknowledge the importance of the nervous system as a primary part of our soul-sensitive approach to caregiving, facilitation, and education through a trauma informed lens.
Epigenetics
We acknowledge the impact of cultural and epigenetic inheritances from our ancestral lineages.
Our Curriculum
Altar Ego
The Altar Ego Framework
Tell your story. Embrace the healing medicine these parts are offering & taste the elixir that was within you all along.
Embody
Emerge from this journey, like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon, with gentle aligned actions to fully embody this Altar Ego.
Soft Power
In our efforts to transform society, Soft Power focuses on reconnecting with our creativity instead of exerting the hard power tactics of force & coercion.
Express
Liberate the story, the parts, the Altar Ego by creating a performance (recorded or live) that introduces your lore and/or healing medicine.
Trauma-Informed Care
We acknowledge the impact of colonization, white supremacy, and capitalism on the human mind, body, and spirit, and we believe there is a need for trauma informed care, education, and facilitation in all dimensions of our communities.
“Soul-Sensitive Care expands on the trauma-informed care framework by incorporating nervous system education, the epigenetic impact of our lived & inherited experiences, & a belief that every individual possesses an inherent power & ability to make their own sovereign choices. A soul-sensitive care provider’s role is to cultivate an environment for clients to perceive the safety they need to identify and voice their needs, desires, and boundaries.”
- Siobhan Diores, co-founder
An “Altar Ego” is a character, identity, or aspect of Self who is wanting to be loved & liberated through creative expression and soft power.
Every season, Soft Power leads a cohort of performers of all experience levels through our curriculum that supports deeper self-exploration & self-expression during revolutionary times.
Retrieve
