Yesterday, I had the incredible honor of being a panelist at Thriving Together: A Holistic Approach to Educator and Student Wellness, hosted by
This opportunity blossomed from my ongoing partnership with , where I lead wellness programming that supports students and community members in reconnecting with themselves, regulating emotions, and aligning with purpose.
During the panel, we reflected on this evolving partnership—how it began, how it’s grown, and the intentional ways we co-create space for both student and community wellness. We also imagined what it would look like to redesign schools and youth programs through the lens of holistic wellness, centering rest, emotional regulation, creative expression, and community care.
As someone deeply committed to youth and caretaker wellness, this conversation was a powerful reminder that healing-centered education is not only necessary—it’s possible.
Deep thanks to OppNet for convening such a thoughtful, restorative gathering, and to Sitar for being such a visionary partner in this work.
