About us

Nourished Heart Collective is building a movement of interdependence, starting by teaching the skills of connection. Changing how we show up in our closest relationships ripples outward until we make a sea change in the wider culture: emergent change for collective liberation.

Our approach is intersectional, embodied, emotional, trauma-informed, abolitionist, non-binary, and depth-oriented. This is heart and soul work for intergenerational healing and a more just world.

Sam

Sam (she/they) teaches embodied consent skills at Nourished Heart Collective. With a focus on body-mind connection and a trauma-informed lens, they hold space for somatic, experiential learning in their workshops. They’ve completed trainings on embodied consent with the School of Consent, Consent Wizardry, and the Amina Institute. Their work is informed by experiences in queer and "in-between" identities and a commitment to liberatory practice.
