The longer that I am in the practice of transforming systems and worlds, the more I realize how critical the inner work is to outer transformation. Of course, (Rev angel reminds us) "without collective change, no change matters". But the world won’t change if we don’t. And if we really want to build a world that has never been instead of repeating history and replicating the very systems we are so desperate to transform, then we need to start doing things differently. Systems don’t make systems, people make systems. The revolution is inside-out and alongside systems change is embodied change. 

This fall… as darkness emerges and shadows fall, we are creating programs and practices that can hold the deep and important inquiries that will set us free - from growth coaching to moon rituals to desert immersions to iconic retreats. 👇

GROW is a white-bodied coaching cohort for those of us who are committed to divesting from whiteness and stepping into wholeness. Grounded in the understanding that the world won't change if we don't, this work invites us to dig deep into the shadows of the individual and collective self so that we can confront whatever is holding us back from healing and wholeness. "Doing the work" isn't about getting it right, being good or playing small. It's about becoming solid and centered white people who are playing our part and helping bring forth a future of collective liberation and wellbeing. This cohort is jam-packed with support including monthly 1:1 coaching sessions, monthly small group coaching sessions and monthly white bodied affinity meet-ups. NOTE: space is limited as this is designed to be a small cohort to optimize intimacy and impact. Starts last week of September. 

**RETREAT ALERT**

Esalen Institute, Big Sur, CA

October 27 - 31, 2025

American Detox is going to Esalen!

This 5-day retreat at the iconic Esalen Institute is a bold and embodied exploration of the mythical body - how we’ve been shaped by history, trauma, and culture and what it’s going to take to heal. Based on the critically acclaimed book by Kerri Kelly, this journey invites us to challenge the myths that have shaped our reality — separation, supremacy, and scarcity — so that we can move toward personal and collective wholeness. Through dynamic movement, radical inquiry, and creative engagement, we will:

• Unlearn limiting beliefs, inherited stories, and toxic patterns of being and doing.
• Explore transformative practices that move energy, disrupt patterns, and metabolize trauma.
• Build greater capacity and resilience for the discomfort of change and the uncertainty of (im)possible futures.
• Cultivate an everyday practice of collective care that ensures all of us can be well.
• Reimagine ways of being, doing, surviving, and thriving together.

We are being called to rise to the occasion — to take stock of what is no longer serving us so that we can step into our full power and potential. This retreat is designed to facilitate just that — an awakening of the mind, body, and spirit that enables us to meet this moment and shape the future that we all deserve.

Join Kerri Kelly & Dana Belicki for a day of embodied rebellion and prayer, art and strategy—a journey of movement, ritual and radical inquiry, where felt rebellions weave into collective shifts.

We are not just working toward liberation—we are practicing it, moment by moment, in how we move, relate, resist, and create. Drawing from somatics, dance, ritual, and nature-based healing lineages, this workshop invites us into elemental practices of body and spirit—ways of moving differently, together, as we show up to and nurture collective social movements capable of holding complexity and healing.

Through music, the land, our senses, and nourished imaginations, we’ll cultivate a movement language that reveals possibility and restoration. Together, we will balance embodied play with devotional experiments in aliveness—practices that help us shake off the noise of dominant culture and expand our capacity for the immense work ahead.
