As an organization that was born out of direct action, our founders highlighted the importance of healing across our stories and across communities while we take action. Through this, Dr. Satsuki Ina developed the Healing Circles for Change model, small processing and reflections circles facilitated by trained facilitators. As our organization evolved, so did the healing work that was needed by our members and partner organizations on the frontlines. Currently, Healing Justice covers three areas:

• Healing Circles– We offer Healing Circles for Change to our members and community partners.  Dr. Satsuki Ina developed Tsuru’s healing circles. This practice is deeply rooted in indigenous talking circles, and are a rare opportunity for sharing stories across generations and experiences in a facilitated, empathetic space. 

• Healing Arts Collective- Art and creativity has always been at the center of our work, especially when our members folded thousands of Tsuru for our various actions. Since then, we have incorporated cultural and healing arts into much of our work.  

• Community Resilience- This group uses multiple healing for justice modalities (styles, protocols) for Tsuru’s actions. A goal is to build collaborative practices with other community partners to honor their ancestral legacy and define how it resonates with ours.
