what exactly

is our space?

our space is a nine month journey

where WoC healers, caretakers, & spaceholders are guided and held through an intentional

self-connecting and community

building experience.

what do we mean by healers, caretakers, and spaceholders?

we mean that whether professionally or personally...

• you’re the person who takes care
  

of people, but may not receive the

care you give...

• you’re the person folks come to
  

when they need to be poured into,

but may not be adequately poured

into yourself...

• you’re the ‘mom friend’, but you’re

ready to not look out for others

and just relax

• and so much more...

women who join our space are ready to deepen and center their own body, mind,

& spirit, & release the survival pattern of

self-abandonment.

this is not a training or learning space where you will learn skills to be better, smarter, more productive or successful,

but rather, a moment in time to be in conscious relationship with

yourself and others for a truly liberation centered way of existing

with yourself and community.

you get to just be.

& be witnessed and loved on for it.

Anchor Sessions

You will participate in collective virtual gatherings 2-3 times per month to explore the nine anchors that will guide the journey.

Each month we will be with the below life areas to support our

own growth and healing:

• Colonial Mentality
• Ecosystems
• Decolonizing the body
• Root Work
• Mothering
• Relationships
• Love
• Practice
• Spiritual Guidance
  

hand crafted care package + Workbook

you will receive a hand crafted care package to support your relationship to this journey.

included in the care package will be a supporting workbook created specifically to align with the nine month process.

this workbook will provide content for each anchor such as learning and connecting resources, reflection prompts, & practices to support an embodied experience.

a group chat that you won’t want to mute 😂

in an effort to stay connected, send ridiculous memes, & keep access open in between anchor sessions, you’ll have access to a group chat.

in this chat you can ask questions, share wins and struggles, and be held by us.

invitation to in-person

gathering

hi family,

i’m monica gavilanes, proud native new yorker aka occupier of lenape lands. my dominican mother and ecuadorian father met in queens & it’s been home ever since.

i like to say i’ve been a social worker since about 6 years old, but formally, i have about 12 years in the game.

i came out the womb argumentative & critical, and it has served me well as i navigate these systems we have been indoctrinated into.

i believe that personal liberation is the portal to collective freedom, and i truly enjoy supporting and teaching folx in healing roles b/c it is us and the creatives that will shepherd in a new world.

i can’t wait to talk shit with you all <3

hey ya’ll,

i’m angelica sievers, most of ya’ll know me as gel from long beach, california, indigienously from guam.

currently, the shape i occupy is a body worker, root worker, and creative. i’ve had many years in the social work game (talking 15+ years). i dipped my toes into being a psychotherapist, and finally decided to step out of the systems by starting my own business in 2022.

those who know me, know i’m a big ass feeler & geek out on all things body and spirit (b/c they are connected fam).

i’m hella hyped to hold space, teach, share, cryyyy, feeel, laughhh, connect <3, and learn from ya’ll.

this is an intentional labor of love that asks of us curiosity, radical honesty, presentness, leaning into discomfort, and so much more.

you may have the ability to invest financially, and we also ask you to reflect on this necessary type of commitment as well.

what you receive:

one individual session with monica & gel

23 two-hour anchor sessions

access to our community chat

supplemental workbook crafted specifically for our space journey

homemade care package delivered to your home, from our homes

invitation to an intimate in-person gathering in summer 2025

we offer tier, class-based equitable pricing, informed by the “green bottle model”.

we trust that you will honestly self-identify your aligned price, as this ensures we are able to offer access to those who may need additional support to invest.

*each tier has limited spaces*

If you have access to financial security, own property, or have personal savings;

If you are able to pay for "wants" and spend little time worrying about securing necessities in your life;

By choosing this price, you are “paying it forward” and contributing to a more equitable world by supporting access for those with less.

You may be paying off debt or working to build savings, but you also have access to steady income.

You do NOT spend most of your time thinking about meeting basic needs.

Making this investment might mean you might have to cut back on some discretionary spending in your life (such as going out to dinner, buying take out, etc.), but the sacrifice is short-term, and will not harm you in the long term.

You have access to basic needs such as food, housing, and childcare, though sometimes it may feel difficult.

You are able to put away money each month to save up to be able to pay for the space, but the middle tier price would mean that you have to save for longer than 12 months.
