How We Do It

Mind-Body Strategies

“Every violent impulse begins in a body full of tension.” – Donna Farhi

We harness the ancient science of yoga and meditation in service of peace. Our protocols are designed with a secular, differential, and trauma-sensitive approach.

Our mind-body protocols are based on integral yoga (breath, relaxation, and meditation), dance and movement therapy, somatic techniques, and other evidence-based strategies.

The programs promote individual healing and social fabric restoration through somatic strategies of self-body awareness, expression and identification of emotions, empathy, trust, and reciprocity, among others. Spaces are created for the recovery of cultural manifestations affected by armed conflict, as well as intergenerational dialogues that allow the continuation of these expressions over time.

Justice and Restorative Practices

We promote the transition from a punitive to a restorative approach in the areas of juvenile justice, intra-family violence, and post-conflict scenarios. The restorative approach aims for those involved in a conflict to clarify the facts, discover the truth, repair the harm caused, and restore relationships and social fabric for healthy coexistence moving forward. We implement informal restorative practices such as circles, assertive communication, and active listening.

Trainings and Sustainability

We provide certified training to participants and other populations, aiming for social and economic empowerment and generating sustainability strategies so that communities can self-manage their individual and collective well-being.
