Dr. Irena Nayfeld
Reconnecting to Ourselves, Each Other, and the Natural World
Workshops & Consulting
Our personal healing is intertwined with creating a more conscious, humanity-affirming world for all people.
​
We were all raised in systems that privilege achievement over wellbeing, and reinforce racism, sexist, ableist ideas about what, and who, we prioritize and value.
We have been taught to dehumanize ourselves, and others. ​
​
When we become conscious of the ways that our traumas and programming live in our bodies, we heal our own wounds while learning how to live, parent, and educate in more humanizing, healing-centered ways.
“To reignite creativity, innovation, and learning, leaders must rehumanize education and work." Brene Brown
When we ignore parts of ourselves for the sake of progress and productivity, both children and adults suffer. To thrive and to nurture others, we first need to understand, and embrace, our full humanity.
As a consultant and workshop leader, I work with women's groups, parent groups, educators, and organization leaders to review what values and priorities are currently being embodied and then shift towards humanity-affirming and healing-centered practices that are rooted in equity, connection, and joy.
Workshops, consultant services, or coaching available for organizations in person (NYC Metro area) or virtually.
Common topics include healing-centered, mindful parenting and teaching, reparenting your inner child, culturally responsive practices, anti-bias, anti-racist education, whole human development of young children, education and parenting through nature connection, creativity, and play.
