About Painted Earth Healing
Our Approach
Healing is collective, embodied, and earth-connected.
At Painted Earth Healing, we believe healing is not meant to happen in isolation. Our work centers group care, shared experience, and relational healing, recognizing that transformation often unfolds in community.
Our approach is:
- Somatic and mindfulness-based
- Queer-affirming and justice-oriented
- Rooted in environmental care
- Creative, experiential, and accessible
- Rooted in the wisdom of the natural world
Much of our work takes place outdoors—on trails, in forests, and in open spaces—where the land becomes an active participant in the healing process.
Justice Centered Healing
We understand healing as inseparable from social and environmental justice. Our work is rooted in care for people, land, and community, and in creating spaces that are inclusive, trauma-informed, and grounded in dignity. Offerings are created by and for queer and LGBTQIA+ communities, centering the body as a site of wisdom, resilience, and belonging. We also partner with community organizations, schools, and justice-centered groups to co-create gatherings, workshops, and healing spaces that support collective care and resilience. If you are part of a community organization and are interested in collaborating, we warmly invite you to reach out and explore what we might create together.
Our Story
Painted Earth Healing grew out of years of one-on-one therapeutic work and a deep noticing: many people longed for healing that felt shared, spacious, and connected to the natural world.
Sarah Burns (SB), a trained psychotherapist, intentionally stepped away from a clinical therapy model to create a space where workshops, gatherings, and retreats could live—where healing could be experienced in community rather than behind closed doors.
While SB currently leads the work, Painted Earth Healing is supported by family and community, and is envisioned as a collective container that grows through collaboration.
