Through storytelling, somatic theater and indigenous teachings, The Ripple Project training and programs center on the lived experiences of survivors. Our focus is uplifting the experiences of people and groups that have been historically “othered”, including biracial and multiracial people; people of the global majority; LGBTQ2S+; people who have been displaced by violence or war and those experiencing poverty.
Who Are People of the Global Majority and Why It Matters
Services are available to organizations, institutions, and community groups to support & enhance sexual assault services and prevention strategies based in culturally centered wisdom.
