'''Vision''':<br />
The Backspace Wellness is a practitioner driven network providing an array of accessible, responsive, safe care, while elevating neighbors, diverse communities and Oakland activists. Guided by an ethics of decolonization and of difference, we want to encourage organizations and individuals committed to making our city a more just, livable place to care for themselves and go about their work in a sustainable way. We believe that abundance of resources is often linked to good health and that abundance is possible through proper relations, and so are mindful of the nuance of each relationship, gearing our exchanges towards this mutual benefit of persons, land, community/s. The Backspace Collective is also committed to facilitating a deepened, educated community of learners and teachers of the healing arts, and to explore in conversation what a healthy person, community and bioregion might look like, how they are intertwined.

Vision:
The Backspace Wellness is a practitioner driven network providing an array of accessible, responsive, safe care, while elevating neighbors, diverse communities and Oakland activists. Guided by an ethics of decolonization and of difference, we want to encourage organizations and individuals committed to making our city a more just, livable place to care for themselves and go about their work in a sustainable way. We believe that abundance of resources is often linked to good health and that abundance is possible through proper relations, and so are mindful of the nuance of each relationship, gearing our exchanges towards this mutual benefit of persons, land, community/s. The Backspace Collective is also committed to facilitating a deepened, educated community of learners and teachers of the healing arts, and to explore in conversation what a healthy person, community and bioregion might look like, how they are intertwined.
