Our Wild Minds is offering up this important opportunity for BIPOC Gifted adults.
“Our Wild Minds offers live, online courses that help highly creative, gifted, and twice-exceptional BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and women befriend and operationalize their natural gifts.
Informed by best practices in psychodynamic psychotherapy, gifted psychology, racial trauma healing, and ecopsychology, courses foster a combination of intellectual inquiry, emotional processing, and community building not typically found in clinical therapy groups or strictly academic courses.”
