The Mellow Cactus Collective provides arts-based healing resources for staff and volunteers who work in high trauma service roles.
When the DV client we’ve been working with goes back,
when the patient we’ve been treating in their tent home passes,
when the person we’ve been working the steps with relapses,
when the wildlife areas we’ve worked relentlessly to protect burn,
when our own trauma story comes up again and again and again,
we need more than a bubble bath. -LL
Our workshops and resources are provided at little to no cost for staff and volunteers who work in high impact roles such as: Race and Equity, Social Work, Healthcare, Peer Support, Education and First Responder fields. Veterans and survivors of life-altering trauma are encouraged to access our resources and attend our workshops at little to no cost. Participants can design their own care toolkits using visual art, meditation, therapeutic movement, creative play, storytelling and soul care practices.
The Mellow Cactus Collective is powered by Shunpike.
