COMING SOON!
We have been doing some reorganizing
and are excited to share a bit about
The Sankofa Healing Institute (SHI) with you!
The formal launch of "SHI" is coming in late 2025. We will be rolling out different elements over the coming weeks so you will be getting early peeks into what we are creating.
Read below for some nuggets of what is to come!
Our Vision
"SHI" (pronounced "shee") will be the new home for The Soulfulness Center, Sankofa Theory & Practice, and Dr. Shelly Harrell's applied work. This includes expanded training opportunities, coaching and consultation services, research, content-rich blog articles, the Sankofa Practitioner Circle, Healing While Black retreats, and a member-only community. The Soulfulness Center will continue to be where mindfulness and meditation-centered offerings live within the larger institute. The work and activities of SHI live at the intersection of psychological, cultural, relational, spiritual, contemplative and liberatory aspects of healing, wellness, and transformative change.
Our Invitation
LEARN WITH US.
We invite you to our courses, workshops, trainings for mental health and wellness professionals, leadership consultation sessions, and other opportunities to learn with us. Our new blog, Reclamations & Revelations will include content-rich articles on Sankofa Theory & Practice and much more.
CONNECT WITH US.
We are excited to introduce our "SHI" membership communities! One example is our Sankofa Practitioner Circle that has been active for over a year. We vision groups that emerge organically from our courses, workshops, and retreats. We also invite participation in communities and activities that we will cultivate around shared experiences, intentions, or interests. A Meditation Group, a Journaling Club, a Book Club, and a Healers & Leaders Collective are some of the ideas that are in development.
HEAL WITH US.
Our healing offerings will include our existing monthly meditations, healing circles and ongoing healing-in-community groups, our Healing While Black retreats, and more. We look forward to developing additional opportunities for healing, transformation, and growth personally, relationally, and collectively.
