Film Debut: A Table of Our Own

Healing Justice Ldn emerged as a collaboration by Women of Colour living in London working on the intersection of community work, trauma and health, creativity and liberation practice. We build community health, repair and self-transformation rooted in disability justice, somatic survivor work and trauma-informed practice working with communities of colour and other marginalised and underrepresented groups.

This groundbreaking film captures the diverse range of perspectives and experiences within the African-American community, forging a path towards healing, understanding, and empowerment. It invites viewers to witness a remarkable gathering where a diverse group of African-American thought leaders, activists, and individuals courageously share their narratives on the transformative power of psychedelic substances.
