Liberation Series: Beyond Burnout
Reclaim your wholeness through collective healing, somatic wisdom, and storytelling.
Reclaim your agency and reconnect with your whole self in our 8-week Beyond Burnout Workshop Series—designed for those who are ready to name, unlearn, and heal from the impacts of workplace trauma.
This transformative, somatic-centered series meets weekly on Wednesdays from 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM beginning Wednesday, October 29, 2025. Rooted in liberation-based values and community care, this offering blends psychoeducation, embodied practices, and reflective creative exploration to support you in rewriting your relationship with work.
Week 1 | October 29, 2025 at 7:00 PM — Welcome & Naming the Wound
Begin building trust, community, and shared language as we explore what workplace trauma is and how it manifests emotionally, mentally, and somatically. Participants will gain awareness of how stress and power dynamics shape their experiences and responses.
Week 2 | November 5, 2025 at 7:00 PM — The Cost of Survival
Identify the coping strategies and protector parts that have supported endurance in harmful or high-stress environments. Through reflection and gentle processing, participants begin to grieve what was lost—authenticity, rest, or connection—in the name of survival.
Week 3 | November 12, 2025 at 7:00 PM — Reconnecting with the Body & Boundaries
Re-establish connection to the body’s cues for safety, rest, and capacity. Participants will explore how boundaries can function as self-honoring practices that support balance, agency, and embodied awareness at work and beyond.
Week 4 | November 19, 2025 at 7:00 PM — Renewal & Flow
Integrate insights from the previous weeks through reflection and ritual. Using water as a metaphor for movement and healing, participants will explore what they wish to release, what they are carrying forward, and how to sustain a renewed sense of wholeness.
This is an interactive, experiential workshop that incorporates somatic check-ins, creative expression, and optional reflection practices each week. Participants will be invited to share within a supportive space rooted in values of non-judgment, agency and mutual care.
The cost is $400 for the entire series ( $50 per session) or take advantage of our Sliding Scale Services at $320-$400 (only $40-50 per session) for those who need it.
Spaces are limited to maintain intimacy and connection — reserve your spot today.
The Liberation Series at LBT are workshops with creatives that offer a holistic lens towards healing and wellness. This series is not group therapy or a substitute for work with a mental health provider.
