Healing Justice Netherlands was born from a need for containers where care, embodiment, and collective healing can be practised as a politicised act. Our work is grounded in the soma, relational by design, and deeply rooted in the lived histories we carry. We are a community-led initiative, a shape formed through years of organising and learning alongside our BIPOC foiks.
Our practice is guided by Healing Justice, a framework that refuses to separate our personal healing from the systemic conditions we inhabit. We understand that transformation is not a solitary event, but something that happens in the space between us—through our relationship to ourselves, to each other, and to the land.
Through politicised somatics—including gentle movement, breath, grounding, and the practice of stillness—we create the conditions for participants to reconnect with the wisdom of their own bodies. These practices invite a loving accountability and a deep curiosity about the shapes we have taken and the shapes we want to become. Together, we are building the somatic capacity to imagine and embody the care required for our collective liberation.
We envision a world where we reclaim our collective power as a site of healing. We dream of a future where we have the somatic capacity to fully inhabit our lives—where we are no longer bound by the survival strategies of numbness or reactivity, but are free to feel the full range of our humanity. We envision a world where our relationships with ourselves, each other, and the land are authentic, intimate, and restorative, allowing us to take a new shape together
We are here to shift the conversation, practice, and politics of healing. Through politicised somatics gatherings, training and strategic consultation, we work to build the internal and external containers necessary for transformation at the interpersonal, organisational, and cultural scales.
Healing Justice Netherlands is a community-sustained project. Our work is funded entirely through our trainings, somatic gatherings, and consultancy. We choose to be accountable to and funded by our community, ensuring that our practice remains rooted in the needs of those we serve.
Healing Justice Netherlands emerged from the shared labor and dreaming of queer and trans people of color in the Hague, rooted in a deep legacy of grassroots organizing. We move with the understanding that our liberation is bound together, reclaiming the collective power of our communities to envision and build our own paths toward wholeness.
Our practices are an emergent tapestry—woven from lived experience, ancestral non-colonial traditions, and decades of community-led healing. We recognize our work as a local fractal of a wider movement; we are deeply inspired by the lighthouse of Healing Justice London, moving as a distinct, independent practice dedicated to the specific needs of our folks here in The Netherlands.
We move with deep gratitude for the lineages and teachers that have shaped this work. Our practice is held by the somatic wisdom of Prentis Hemphill, Nkem Ndefo, and Kai Cheng Thom, whose guidance has taught us the rigor of politicized healing.
We are equally rooted in the ancestral teachings of Cambodia and the grounded presence of Cambodian Buddhism. These spiritual and cultural foundations are the soil our work grows from, offering us ancient technologies of mindfulness, resilience, and collective care. We honor these teachers and ancestors by continuing the work of reclaiming our bodies and our liberation.
