At Break the Cycle, we aim to uplift multiple ways of knowing and emphasize that lived experience, cultural wisdom, embodiment, and practice—not just theory or credentials, can facilitate a curative process. We aim to practice from a decolonial lens, shifting, breaking, disrupting, and moving pieces of these medical systems that exploit and discount the wide array of knowledge that exists in the world and in our cultural histories. We hope you take the information you learn and use it with care, caution, adequate attribution, and respect for the wisdom and the people from whom these practices derived. We thank you for collaborating in this mission with us. We’re all learning to unlearn here. Let’s each do our part as we work to help ourselves, each others, and others to find restoration.
