Re-Imagine Legacy: 6 Days of Restoration, Transformation & Cultural Immersion in Costa Rica with Naimah Efia

Naimah’s array of expertise creates a radically integrated approach to healing and transformation.  The approach is informed by activism, esotericism, mindfulness, movement, liberation psychology, and indigenous traditions of the African diaspora. Naimah’s work is articulated as healing alchemy and a praxis of decolonial care.  This praxis allows for the return to our inherent right to heal, and be healed on our own terms, and in line with our legacies and traditions past, present and future.

Naimah has cultivated a framework and praxis that offers expansive engagement and structurally grounds their clinical training and over 20 years of experience within their deep understanding of trauma and its psychic impact on the human condition.

In addition to their healing and transformation work with communities, Naimah also works collaboratively with organizations, institutions and collectives providing liberation-based training, facilitating community healing spaces, and creating processes to transform conflict, integrate structural competence, and activate collective peace, power and possibility. In 2018, they founded a BIPOC healing justice initiative, #FreeToo, focused on creating experiences and opportunities for survivor-centered collective care.  Over the past decade, Naimah has been intentionally building, collaborating and co-creating with collectives and organizations such as Harriet's Apothecary, Black Women's Blueprint, Ancient Song Doula Services, Black Youth Project 100, and In Our Names Network, to name a few.  Naimah believes in healing as a revolutionary act of resistance that is essential to our liberation, and centers Black survivors and families in her work, and praxis as an emancipationist, health practitioner & freedom fighter.
