OUR FEATURED COURSE

Sankofa Theory & Practice: Centering Reconnection and Interconnection in our Healing

Join award-winning teacher, healer, therapist, and scholar, Dr. Shelly P. Harrell for an engaging tour of her comprehensive conceptual and intervention framework, Sankofa Theory & Practice. Inspired by the Akan indigenous wisdom of the Sankofa adinkras and rooted in an Africultural paradigm (within a larger communal-interconnected collectivist worldview), Sankofa Theory & Practice is a culturally-grounded and evidence-informed approach to psychotherapy, counseling, prevention programs, wellness offerings, healing circles, and more. THE 4-SESSION WEBINAR SERIES IS NOW AVAILABLE AS AN ONLINE COURSE!

  • OUR HOME: The Sankofa Healing Institute (SHI)

    The SHI Center is part of the larger Sankofa Healing Institute. Our vision and overarching intention is to serve at the intersection of psychological, cultural, relational, spiritual, contemplative and liberatory aspects of healing, wellness, and transformative change. In addition to learning and healing offerings through The SHI Center, we are developing other initiatives aligned with our vision and values.

  • The SHI Center for Learning and Healing

    The SHI Center (where you are now) is the hub for The Sankofa Institute's courses, workshops, programs, trainings, coaching, and consultation services. This includes Soulfulness Center offerings that focus on meditation, mindfulness, and contemplative practices. Providing opportunities for training in Sankofa Theory & Practice is also a primary emphasis of the SHI Center. Each course or program is linked to a private Space in our SHI Center Connections area where you can be in conversation with other members.

  • SHI Groups & Membership Communities

    Building from our Sankofa Practitioner Circle, Soulfulness Sisters Meditation & Support Group, and Healing While Black Retreat Community, we will continue to create opportunities for people to come together to learn, heal, and flourish in community. Offerings in development include a Meditation and Healing Practices group, a Healers and Leaders Book Club, Adinkra Journaling Events, and "Music for the Soul" Sessions!
