Healing Hearts is a support group for people of all genders who have had an experience of sexual violence or harassment. These gatherings offer a space to connect with your body’s wisdom, cultivate deeper awareness, and engage in healing practices through embodied movement. Most sessions will be hosted virtually, with the exception of an Asian Survivor’s Support Group to be held in January, 2026, at the St. George campus.

This year we are also offering a separate support group specifically for Muslim participants who identify as having experienced sexual violence, sexual harassment, and/or gender-based violence. See below for the relevant dates, times, and registration details.

Please note that Healing Hearts is a closed group for those who have experienced sexual violence or harassment and registration is required.

You can come to one or all of the sessions below – we look forward to welcoming you and learning together!
