An MSW Professor, Lakhiyia founded HOMEplxce Retreats & Trauma-informed Public Health Consulting and interior designed the Inner Child Healing Sanctuary to co-hold the holders across the Blxck Queer Diaspora. We believe that we get to be well as we do our good work in the world–and to give from abundant overflow, not burnout, exhaustion or depletion. Simply put, we serve those who serve.

a CHOSEN FAMILY room,

where rest and strategy catch a vibe

HOMEplxce supports people who hold a lot by co-curating safe spaces to return to y/our own self-healing power.

Serving Blxck, Queer, Gender Expansive, and Disxbled people, we work to make freedom tangible in a world designed to systematically undermine it. Y/Our freedom of choice, inner wisdom, and community, rest safely together, without compromise.

Pre-Order

The power was never lost, only waiting to be activated

Self-Heal™ is a methodology of return, the quiet, radical act of reclaiming the self-determinism already alive in your bones. This practice moves outward through Transformative Healing Justice, co-held by a network of community care pods. Explore the spaces where Self-Healing takes root.

Birthing rhythms of care, from cycles of burnout

At HOMEplxce, we cultivate collective care networks from the medicine and power already present in each of us: Sovereignty, Love, Faith, and Freedom.

We're co-holding…

Nature itself as a co-creative system

Time, energy, resources, and people are the real assets for Transformative Healing Justice

Humxns to thrive as living archive
