What we do at SHI

We offer courses and trainings, workshops and retreats, coaching and consultation services, healing circles and support groups, communal spaces, and learning resources at the intersection of psychological, relational-communal, cultural, sociopolitical, and spiritual aspects of healing.  Our work is  grounded in the deep wisdom of the Sankofa adinkras and their message of reclamation, retrieval, and revitalization in the context of love. Our offerings are informed by Dr. Shelly's Sankofa Theory & Practice and her soulfulness approach to healing that centers the power of reconnection and  interconnection for transformation, liberation, and optimal health & wellness.
