CORE. RESTORE. STUDY.

Healing Initiative for Full Spectrum Recovery

corerestorestudy.org

Core. Restore. Study. is a multidisciplinary healing and cultural restoration initiative dedicated to full spectrum recovery for individuals and communities impacted by the long-lasting effects of colonization.

We support the restoration of identity, humanity, and cultural memory for people who carry inherited trauma—through silence, displacement, fragmented ancestry, and the loss of Indigenous knowledge. Our mission is to help people reconnect with themselves through education, art, embodied practices, and guided spiritual work rooted in ancestral wisdom.

We believe healing comes from remembering.
We believe cultural and spiritual identity are essential to restoring dignity, autonomy, and generational balance.

  • Holistic Workshops

    These workshops are ideal for environments such as schools, colleges, public institutions, conferences, art centers.

    We offer immersive, and adaptable workshops designed to engage creativity, ancestral wisdom, and personal growth. Our experiences blend art, meditation, storytelling, and hands-on activities to foster self-expression, healing, and community connection.

    Workshops range from interactive art-making and upcycling activities to meditation-guided visualizations, affirmation practices, zine-making, and career or business visioning. They are designed for all ages and group sizes, with opportunities for personal reflection, skill-building, and playful experimentation.

    Each workshop encourages participants to connect with themselves, others, and their cultural or ancestral roots while cultivating creativity, economic growth and holistic wellness.


  • Cultural Restoration

    Our research and educational programs support environments such as museums, libraries, universities, and cultural institutions.

    We offer research-driven experiences that focus on identity recovery, ancestral memory, and cultural restoration. Our work brings together trauma-informed education, genealogy and DNA identity recovery, archive access, and global research, including studies presented through film, literature, and public dialogue.

    Programs highlight post-generational effects of colonization, calling forward pre-colonial legacy and guided practices for understanding lineage and personal history.

    Each experience encourages participants to explore ancestry, engage in creative lineage exercises, integrate ancestral strength, and collectively imagine liberated futures rooted in restored cultural identity.

  • Exhibitions and Arts Advocacy

    Our exhibitions support environments such as museums, galleries, cultural centers, public programs, and community-based institutions.

    Exhibitions include performances, installations, panel discussions, and identity-based reflection circles that activate art as a form of ancestral storytelling. These experiences invite participants to explore the work of restoring dignity, coherence, and belonging.

    Our advocacy for artists, healers, and cultural practitioners includes providing stipends, reviewing contracts, supporting communication skills, and guiding artists toward opportunities that respect their integrity. We help artists find affordable studio space, access fair representation, and choose collaborations that strengthen rather than exploit them.

CORE Beliefs

Trauma is inherited until it is addressed and healed.

Emotional and physiological patterns persist across generations. These inherited patterns affect personal, social, and economic wellbeing in marginalized communities.

Healing is holistic – Mind, body, spirit, community, and ancestry are interconnected; restoration requires addressing all these dimensions.

Colonization affects all lineages – Both the oppressed and the oppressors carry inherited wounds. These wounds can manifest as self-hate, low self-esteem, and internalized racism.

Spiritual identity is sacred – Indigenous practices provide grounding, clarity, and a path to inner strength.

Ancestry is a path forward – Genealogy, DNA research, and storytelling rebuild cultural memory and help reclaim dignity, identity, and agency.
