About Our Practice

Simple Shiva is a trauma-informed practice focused on the spiritual, physical, and ancestral well-being of the Black community and those that seek to support it. We believe that holistic healing modalities combined with traditional ancestral study and practice hold the keys to cleansing the traumas of the past. We fight oppression through the reclamation of our personal and spiritual identity. We use breath and touch to regulate our mental and emotional space while reconnecting with the world around us. We work together with herbal allies to reintroduce the wonders of natural medicine to oppressed bodies. Through movement and ritual we honor the spirits of our ancestors for wisdom and guidance.
