WE heal together: rituals & practices for building community & connection

A hopeful, wise, and practical guide to help us move into spaces of individual and collective healing, community, and relationship building—with practices to shed our isolation, connect, and thrive.

​In times of isolation, heartbreak, and brokenness, reaching out to each other, being in conversation, finding ways to connect with compassion and openness can help us heal, and thrive. We Heal Together is a powerful, positive guide that coaxes us to go beyond our individual and collective grief, and courageously re-enter and reclaim our sense of community—which then further strengthens our spiritual practice.

Michelle’s latest book shows us how we can heal and facilitate healing; reclaim what it means to hold space and build community; find joy; connect to and summon support from our ancestors; connect with nature to strengthen and restore ourselves; and love, alchemize, dream, and conjure in community.

Communing together is about showing our hearts to one another. Bearing our hearts to one another is a holy act. This is what spiritual practice guides us to do, to show our hearts to one another because we recognize the inherent divinity in all and feel the connection between our hearts. We see ourselves in every other being. When we commune with one another with purpose and open hearts and spirits, auspiciousness abounds.

ritual & practice journal

In honor of the book launch, Michelle is offering free access to a complimentary Ritual & Practice Journal.

The Ritual & Practice Journal is a small taste of the rituals, meditations, and practices contained within We Heal Together. I’ve also added a few practices to this journal that are new and were not included in the book.

Healing isn’t linear, and it doesn’t happen in isolation.

This sampling of practices is intended for you to begin to reflect on what community means to you and why community is so important, to locate an object that represents sacred space to you, and to consider what it means to show up for one another in community as we engage in our collective practice of healing together. 

This journal also includes some prompts for reflection based on the themes explored in We Heal Together.

We Heal Together: Rituals and Practices for Building Community and Connection courageously calls us back into remembering that we come from each other and we are in community. We thrive and heal in community.

We Heal Together: Rituals and Practices for Building Community and Connection is dedicated to the wise old ones. The groves of trees, honeybee hives, pods of whales, herds of elephants, bear clans, and lion’s prides. The ones who moved on this earth before we, as we are now, were even thought of. The wisdom keepers who held reverence for all living beings, past, present, and future. We Heal Together is dedicated to all who have known that the only way to heal is to heal in communion with the entire world.
