Are you ready to create transformative, liberating spaces for yourself and others?
This program consists of 12 powerful sessions held on Saturdays and Tuesdays, with rest and integration included.
Our trauma-informed program is thoughtfully designed for individuals seeking to deepen their understanding of trauma, develop practical tools to support healing, and foster resilience and well-being in themselves and others in a world that strips us of our agency.
During the program, you will:
Gain insights into trauma’s impact on the brain, body, health, and relationships
Explore the principles of racial, intergenerational, and personal trauma
Build skills to enhance emotional regulation, communication, and boundary-setting
Practice self-soothing techniques and resilience-building strategies rooted in somatic approach
Engage in group dialogue, experiential exercises, and critical thinking about what it actually means to heal
Receive personalized feedback and support from Adria and participants from around the world
...and more.

To enroll in the program, click here and complete your registration.We believe that healing is a collective process. Our community warmly welcomes individuals of all backgrounds and identities. Please note this is an all-inclusive space where we honor pronouns, center the BIPOC community, and are survivor-led. Together, we can co-create a world where radical healing is not just a possibility, but a lived reality.
-
Our work is rooted in the body. We create spaces where trauma doesn’t need to be explained to be honored.
Here’s how that shows up in our spaces:
Somatic & Embodied Practices
We use accessible movement, breathwork, and grounding exercises to reconnect with the body’s wisdom. These practices support regulation, release, and resilience + meeting folks wherever they are.
Trauma-Informed Teaching
All content is delivered through a trauma-informed lens that centers choice, nervous system awareness, and safety. We understand trauma not just as an individual experience, but a collective and systemic one.
Guided Reflection & Integration
Participants are guided through prompts, journaling, and small-group sharing to help integrate what’s emerging.
Circle-Based Dialogue
We lean into the power of collective conversation, where each voice matters. Our circles are intentional spaces to witness, be witnessed, and co-create new ways of relating.
Community Practice
We incorporate grounding rituals, opening/closing practices, music, and shared intention to build a sense of rhythm, meaning, and connection.
-
The program consists of two types of sessions: Learning Sessions and Radical Healing Community Sessions (RHCS). Learning sessions promote awareness while our RHCS promotes collaboration—two necessary principles in a trauma-informed approach.
In our learning sessions, you’ll learn:
The foundations of the mind-body connection, Polyvagal theory, and how the body intelligently stores traumatic experiences.
Practical tools for emotional self-regulation.
Practical ways to uphold the well-being of relationships and build community.
How to hold dynamic space by building skills in empathy, language, and energy.
In our community sessions, you will:
Collaborate by workshopping real-life scenarios that require a trauma-informed approach
Discuss how to integrate trauma-informed practices into your specific work and field.
Discover how to use love as a powerful action to create safety and foster community.

“Trauma-Informed care is defined as practices that promote a culture of safety, empowerment, and healing.”
— Dr. L. Elizabeth Lincoln
What SORH Alumni are saying…
-
It had a deep impact on visually seeing and viscerally experiencing what trauma-informed practices looked and felt like. She always brought the topics we were studying in the reading materials to real examples in our lives, and helped me to understand that trauma-informed practice isn't just a nice 'add-on', but rather a core consideration - whether in our relationships with ourselves or with others. The thing that surprised me the most was how much this program softened me inside. I think I had an unconscious belief that doing a trauma-informed program would, in some way, require me to re-live past traumas in a way that felt really uncomfortable. But actually, it helped me to reevaluate my life (past and present) with a new lens of compassion, gentleness, grace, and love. This program has done deep work inside of me and I will forever be grateful.”
— Layla Saad, CEO, Author, Speaker, Educator
-
With everything that is happening in our world, I knew I needed specific tools to support my clients and SORH did exactly that. Not only did I receive the tools needed to support my clients, but this course was absolutely healing for me. It also opened my eyes to communities I was not receiving safety and ending those relationships. I can only imagine how this world can be a better place if it was more trauma-informed. Adria has been such a beautiful mentor and I’ve been raving about her and the program to everyone. If you have any questions about joining, feel free to message me.”
— Elaine Lou Cartas, M.S, Business and Career Coach for WOC And Allies

“Thank you for facilitating such a thought-provoking experience, from the application process to the last session. I learned so much about trauma-informed principles and how to realistically apply them in real life scenarios. The sessions were impactful and spiritually empowering, too. I feel strengthened and supported to keep showing up for my community, from my family to those I have yet to meet. These kinds of programs remind me of how deeply bonded I am with others in the world, whether we know each other or not. I'm excited to keep practicing, growing, and integrating. This was such a blessing and I'm glad that I am at a place where I can whole-heartedly receive it.”

Liberatory, Embodied, Trauma-Informed
-
This program isn’t just about information, it’s about transformation.
What sets us apart is our commitment to embodied, liberatory, and relational healing. We don’t just teach trauma theory, we hold space for you to feel it, move with it, and root your practice in your lived experience.
Here’s what makes this program unique:
Somatics are central, not supplemental
We center Black, Brown, and marginalized voices, not as an afterthought, but as foundational wisdom
We engage healing through love, language, and the nervous system, not performance or productivity
We work at the pace of trust, with space to pause, reflect, integrate, and feel
This is an education space, not a certification mill, we're here to support your actual growth.
We aren’t trying to “fix” anyone. We’re creating space to unlearn, remember, and reimagine what it means to heal, individually and together.
-
Trauma-informed doesn’t just mean we talk about trauma. It means we center nervous system awareness, choice, and relational care in how we gather, teach, and move.
We honor:
Choice over compliance. You’ll always be invited, never forced.
Slow over fast. We engage in pacing that prioritizes nervous system regulation.
Bodies over performance. We don’t expect you to be “healed” or “fixed”
Lived experience over expertise. Your story matters here
We approach trauma as both personal and systemic, and actively name the ways oppression, colonization, and generational harm shape our bodies and communities.
-

Adria Moses (she/her) is a writer, space-holder, and trauma-informed educator rooted in somatics, justice, and collective care. A survivor herself, she creates learning spaces that center dignity, choice, and the wisdom of lived experience.
Adria has spent over a decade leading healing-centered work across communities, guiding people through the intersections of trauma, embodiment, and transformation. She’s trained in trauma-informed teaching, somatic practice, and TRE (trauma release exercises), and brings deep experience working with system-impacted individuals, organizers, educators, and wellness practitioners.
Her approach is relational, liberatory, and always rooted in the belief that healing is not a destination, it’s a return to ourselves, together.

At this time, Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are not formally offered for this program.
While many participants are educators, therapists, bodyworkers, and healing practitioners, this offering is centered in community-based, liberatory education, not institutional accreditation.
That said, we provide a detailed 70-hour Certificate of Completion, and we’re happy to supply documentation (session titles, descriptions, hours) if your licensing board or organization accepts self-submitted or alternative CE credit.
If CEUs are something you’d like to see in the future, let us know; we’re open to exploring aligned partnerships.
-
Yes. This program is open to all people, including white participants, who are committed to showing up with humility, care, and a willingness to learn, unlearn, and be in community.
We actively practice anti-racism, consistently name and address bias, and center Black and Brown lived experiences throughout the program. This is not a performative inclusion; it is foundational to how we build trust, hold space, and engage in trauma-informed work.
White folks are welcomed as participants, not as the center. If you are new to decentering whiteness, we encourage deep listening, accountability, and staying in the discomfort that growth often requires.
If you’re unsure whether this space is for you, we invite you to reflect on why and reach out if you’d like support clarifying your intention before enrolling.
-
We do not offer refunds for this program.
However, if you’ve paid in full or made any installment toward enrollment and find that you can no longer participate, your payment can be credited toward a future cohort.

-
Yes. You do not need any prior experience with somatics, trauma work, or healing spaces to join us. What matters most is your willingness to show up with curiosity, care, and a commitment to growth.
