The Phoenix Project

The Phoenix Project is a survivor-led initiative dedicated to offering accessible healing arts and community-based programming for survivors of sexual trauma*. Emerging from the legacy of the Survivor Theatre Project, it carries forward a commitment to creative expression and collective healing while evolving into a broader, interdisciplinary model of survivor support.

The project brings together trauma-informed arts programming, somatic healing practices, educational workshops, and community care initiatives designed to meet survivors across diverse identities and lived experiences. By reducing barriers to participation and centering survivor voice and choice, the Phoenix Project cultivates spaces where creativity, embodiment, and connection support long-term healing and growth.

*Sexual trauma includes anyone who has experienced sexual violence and/or sexual misconduct

(This may be defined as, but is not limited to child sexual abuse, incest, sexual assault, sexual exploitation, rape, intimate partner violence, stalking, sexual-based harassment, and institutional sexual violence)

Please note: Although these programs will offer space for community and reflection,

they should not be confused for therapeutic services.

If you are in crisis, please seek immediate support through our resources blog page.

Embodied Healing

Free, monthly online workshops centering survivor-led spaces that support healing through creative, somatic, and educational practices connected to survivorship.

Rooted in the understanding that healing happens in relationship, with the body, with community, and with choice, this series provides accessible spaces where participants are invited to explore expression, self-agency, and embodied healing.

Each offering centers safety, consent, and cultural awareness, recognizing that survivors carry diverse experiences and needs.

Thrive:

an 8-week series for Survivors of sexual trauma

Grounded in the ethical foundations of yoga (the Yama and Niyama) and informed by contemporary trauma theory, this series supports participants in rebuilding a sense of safety, agency, and connection within their bodies.

Each session integrates gentle, accessible movement, breathwork, guided reflection, and psychoeducation to support nervous system regulation, self-trust, and post-traumatic growth.

Connect with fellow survivors in a safe, understanding space designed to foster trust and mutual support.

This series is open to all who identify as a survivor of sexual trauma, regardless of gender identity.
Participants are never asked to share personal trauma histories.
All practices are invitational and adaptable, emphasizing choice, autonomy, and respect for lived experience.

The Survivor Uprising Podcast

with Kaia Jackson

This interview-based storytelling project invites survivor artists, activists and healers to share from their life's work and reflect on their creative and spiritual journeys. This project intends to benefit a broad community of survivors- both those who are interviewed and those who choose to listen- in creating spaces for more direct connection, collaboration, co-learning and culture change. While our community is geographically vast, this shared storytelling platform invites survivors to imagine, build and feel our collective resilience, knowledge and power across time and place.
