EMBRACE THE JOURNEY and the now

Wellness

Mental health and wellness are more than a state of mind. They are reflected in our behaviors, feelings, thoughts, and values and are deeply affected by our relationships, communities, structures, systems, and experiences, including those passed down through previous generations. At KPLLC, we believe that the pursuit of mental wellness is a journey, not a destination.

There are many resources that help propel us along our wellness journey. These resources can include, but are not limited to, a loving friend or family member; a community network or program; a practice of meditation, deep breathing, or visioning; an activity or exercise; a safe, secure space for respite; a wise elder; music; or a spiritual practice, guide, or ritual. Additionally, therapy with well-trained, culturally responsive, healing practitioners can be helpful.

KPLLC develops tools and curates spaces to support you and your organization in cultivating your own resources and tools for your wellness journey. Contact us to work with your organization and customize workshops to meet your needs.
