The Adara Collective shares holistic practices and simple tools that create safe space for people to gain self-awareness and change their environment from the inside, out. We create opportunities for individuals to consider new possibilities and ways of being that support a healthy lifestyle through sound healing, meditation, breath work, movement, and personal development programs. Adara’s intention is to support those who don’t have access to holistic ways of healing and provide tools to begin a new life after trauma is experienced. Our main focus is with incarcerated and formerly incarcerated communities. The practices and teachings that we share allow participants to remember how to be fully present with their self and contribute to the community in a positive way. We work together to create tangible goals and introduce new healthy habits to work with in order to change the inner and outer environment of each individual. We feel that in order to build a healthy structure (community) we must first have a supportive and stable foundation to begin. The most vulnerable people in our society are the foundation of our community. We must create the support and uplift all of our members in order to experience the changes we wish to manifest in this world. We meet people where they’re at in their process without judgment or criticism and create new agreements to move forward in the most beneficial way. We promote and cultivate Self-Acceptance and Forgiveness to support growth in a new direction.
