Who We Are

We are a collective of organizations, healers, activists, and community members with a shared mission to support healing and social justice. We share a physical space to gather and create community offerings in a cooperative way. Offerings held in this space are intended, by design, to center people with marginalized identities. 

 

Why We're Here

Traditional Westernized healing spaces have historically excluded LGBTQ+ people, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, people with low socioeconomic status, people with disabilities, and people from other marginalized identities. The Liberation Collective (TLC) is intentionally and collaboratively building a space in the community that is committed to addressing barriers to healing while also building awareness and supports for social justice in Olympia and beyond. 

​

Community-Centered Operation

We are not a traditional business, but a collective of healers committed to community and pushing against the capitalistic society we live in. TLC is operated out of Friendship Hall in partnership with YWCA of Olympia. We operate with low overhead costs and are largely volunteer-led. This allows healers and teachers to offer financially accessible events and activities to the community and still sustain themselves on the offerings they provide.

Leadership

This organization is collaboratively led by an advisory board and collective members, and our work is informed by the community. Any Olympia community members are welcome to participate on the advisory board. We also offer other ways throughout the year for the community to provide input to guide our work.
