Did you know that people living with OCD can experience intense anxiety and intrusive thoughts—sometimes including thoughts of self-harm.
Evidence shows risk is higher than in the general population, but effective help exists (ERP-based therapy, medication, and support). Reaching out is a strong first step. 💬

OCD Awareness Week is here (12 - 18 October)! 🥳

This week, we come together to challenge myths, raise understanding, and amplify the voices of those living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

OCD affects millions worldwide and is often misunderstood. Behind the rituals and intrusive thoughts are real struggles with anxiety, uncertainty, and distress. This week is about compassion, education, and creating space for dialogue.

Let’s lean in, listen, and respond with care. 💙

🌿✨ Healing through tradition, culture, and community.

We had the honour of facilitating a community healing workshop at the incredible Alegría Festival earlier this month — drawing inspiration from the traditional therapeutic and healing practices of the Bembe people of Congo and other cultures around the world.

We guided participants through a soulful journey of rhythm, reflection, and reconnection — reminding us that healing is not only personal, but collective. 💛

A heartfelt thank you to MariposaTrails Senderos de Mariposa for hosting such a meaningful and inspiring community event. We were truly honoured to be part of it. 🥰🌍

🐹✨ Did you know that children with autism show more social interaction when animals are around compared to toys? In one classroom study, two guinea pigs encouraged more talking, smiling, and positive connections among 99 children. A beautiful reminder of the healing power of animals! 💛

💛 Healing through connection and community.

At the Alegría Festival this past weekend, one of our most memorable activities was the blindfold challenge — where one person, blindfolded, had to find a basket using only the guidance of their teammates’ voices. 🎯✨

This simple exercise carries a powerful message: when someone feels lost or faces hardship, it’s the voices of community, compassion, and care that help guide them back to safety and strength. 🌿

Because healing is not a solo journey — it takes a village. 💛

Shout out to MariposaTrails Senderos de Mariposa for organising such a powerful event, and Masoka Productions for capturing the magic! 🥰🥳

🪘✨ Healing through rhythm, movement, and connection.

We’re at the Alegría Festival — where life is in the moments! 💛 As part of our program inspired by traditional African mental health practices, we embraced the power of dance as a pathway to healing.

Across the globe, dance has long been more than just celebration — it’s a way to process emotions, release stress, and strengthen community bonds. 🌍💃🏽

This session was a beautiful reminder that mental health care can be joyful, embodied, and deeply rooted in tradition.

Did you know that, for many people with mild to moderate depression, therapy can be just as effective as medication?

🌱 Some people benefit most from a combined approach. The right path is personal: goals, preferences, side effects, and support all matter.💛
