A Community Gathering for Healing Practitioners & LGBTQ+ Community
Description
Join us at the SF LGBT Center for an intimate evening with Dr. Ame Cutler, author of The Regeneration Process: A Revolutionary Method for Uprooting Ancestral Trauma, Embracing Uncertainty, and Cultivating Collective Liberation — one of the most anticipated wellness and social justice books of 2026.
About the Book
What if healing was never meant to be a solo journey? In The Regeneration Process, Dr. Cutler challenges the individualistic, Eurocentric model of recovery that dominates mainstream psychology — arguing that our trauma does not begin and will not end with us. Drawing on centuries of Indigenous wisdom and modern trauma theory, she presents a six-phase framework for collective transformation that moves us from self-focused healing toward genuine community repair and regeneration.
This is essential reading for therapists, social workers, community organizers, and anyone who works at the intersection of healing and justice.
About the Evening
This is not a traditional book talk. This is a lounge — a warm, conversational space designed for reflection, connection, and community.
The evening will include:
📖 A presentation and interactive lecture by Dr. Cutler on the core concepts of The Regeneration Process, including experiential exercises drawn from the book's six-phase method
💬 A moderated conversation and live Q&A — bring your questions as a practitioner, a community member, or simply as a human being navigating these times
✍️ A book signing with Dr. Cutler
🥂 A reception to close the evening — time to connect with fellow attendees, practitioners, and community members
Who Should Attend
This event is especially designed for therapists, social workers, counselors, case managers, and service providers working with LGBTQ+ communities and communities of color in the Bay Area. Community members are warmly welcomed.
Whether you work in healing spaces or are simply curious about what it means to move from individual recovery toward collective liberation — this evening is for you.
