Reclaim 1.0

If you’ve taken my courses, you know we have curriculums, course guides, lectures, workbooks, assignments and so on. These courses are designed this way to build a solid foundation that can support you in your growth journey. This is a program that is less about teaching you with lectures and workbooks, but more about supporting and encouraging you to reclaim your humanity by embodying the work. That means this program isn’t about teaching a set curriculum but is about offering you a space for deeper exploration of your humanity and a space of supporting you in reclaiming your humanity.

Believe me this is Unlike anything I’ve ever created

Founder- Monique Melton

What does it mean to reclaim our humanity?

When we understand that there are systems of oppression such as white supremacy that has dehumanized us in many ways, we begin to realize that the only way forward is to reclaim our humanity. To reclaim we must take action. Action looks like understanding the ways that intersecting systems of oppression have dehumanized us and then doing the work to heal this harm in order to embrace more fully who we are and who we are becoming.

Reclaiming our humanity is about uncovering the multiple ways that you’ve been conditioned, socialized, and internalized oppression, how this is impacting you and others, and, defining for yourself something new that aligns with your humanity and working to repair and build that something new. This process allows you to begin to connect the dots and to see the connections between you and your environment. Reclaiming our humanity removes the individualistic approach to healing and instead connects a more holistic examination of how we as people interact with ourselves and in the community. The focus of this work includes inner work that must be understood within the context of being connected in the community.

Monique only works with a small number of clients at a time to offer a premium experience, so her availability is tailored accordingly. It is imperative that you schedule your sessions in a timely manner each month to secure your session. Monique has allocated enough time each month for your sessions, but she may not be able to accommodate last-minute scheduling or cancellations.

Sessions are subject to scheduling availability. You must schedule sessions with the designated scheduling link within designated availability, and no more than 1 session may be provided per month, unless prior written authorization. If you’re unable to keep your session or have a scheduling conflict, please notify us immediately so we may attempt to reschedule your session at the next available time. Sessions not completed in one month will not carry over into the next month unless prior authorization is granted. 

The investment for this course is solely for participation in the course.
