BIPOC End of Trauma Course:
A BIPOC Affinity Group Experience
Welcome! It is a joy to offer this BIPOC EOTC Course to support BIPOC members through the Organic Intelligence® End of Trauma Course (EOTC) journey.
BIPOC EOTC is a space for Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) new to EOTC who desire a culturally responsive environment where sharing, questions, authenticity, connection, and healing can unfold with greater ease.

APPLY FOR BIPOC EOTC
A unique freedom and depth can emerge in BIPOC spaces where shared socio-cultural experiences, ethnic representation, and differences are held with special care and understanding. We welcome stories, lives, and voices enriched by the flavors of different languages, dialects, and accents.Â
BIPOC EOTC was developed in response to feedback from BIPOC participants seeking specific support to help their systems settle and integrate learning. The Organic Intelligence® community welcomes this tailored support that creates the conditions for a more easeful and enjoyable course experience.
"Here there is this nest where I can be until ready to fly. Here the questions invite curiosity like an outstretched hand. I may flounder and I fall on soft ground. Here I feel expansion in simply being me. Here I know that my particular heritage has weight, roots, trunk, trees, leaves, ever intertwined vines of ancient wisdom. My breath flows fully within me as I am oriented in these surroundings. Tethered here, I fly freely everywhere. My natural state of being, learning trajectory of OI, my life trajectory, all I am here for is emboldened through this connectivity."
Reflection from a BIPOC member on the meaningfulness of the BIPOC EOTC group to her OI experience.
Who is BIPOC EOTC for?
BIPOC EOTC is for Black, Indigenous, People of Color who are new to the End of Trauma Course and who are curious about how the intersections of ancestry, culture, and community can inform the transformation of self and systems, and who appreciate the diverse range of BIPOC experiences – everyone’s journey is valued.
- BIPOC Activists who want to learn resilience skills so they can help others who may be on the edge of burn out, without burning out themselves
- People whose symptoms haven't been understood and who want to learn (and experience) how lasting change happens
- Those who are considering (or in the midst of) a significant life transition (work, home, relationship) and seeking clarity around what really matters
- Educators, parents, caregivers, and partners who tend and care for others – get tools for inner resilience.
- Therapists and coaches who want to experientially understand the somatic aspects of trauma and Post-Trauma Growth (PTG), while also growing their own resiliency
- Those who want to personally experience OI before enrolling in the Organic Intelligence® Coach Certification Program
The End of Trauma™ Course and BIPOC EOTC is for Post-Trauma Growth – and is not for people who are in current, acute crisis, or who are disabled by trauma or mental health issues.
For individual, personal support, including from licensed and advanced OI Coaches and therapists, go to the Organic Intelligence® Directory.
We deeply appreciate the care and support of allies, and kindly encourage members who are not BIPOC to access other resources in the general EOTC cohort.

"This space feels sacred; it has given me a profound sense of belonging and understanding. Sharing my story with those who truly resonate with my struggles has been a deeply liberating experience. It’s a community that uplifts my voice, honors my pain, and walks alongside me on my healing journey."

The Path to Post-Trauma Growth
You already know how to heal. Maybe even more than you do, however, your own being wants you to grow, and do more, do better, and feel better.
This is our birthright—not “processing” trauma or the past, but rather the remarkable ability to grow our processing capacity (bandwidth).
We become more ourselves when we have more bandwidth. We feel our humanness, and the interconnectedness that arises spontaneously from our pre-existent wholeness.
Experience the path of Post-Trauma Growth and how ease-fully and naturally real change can happen.
