Healing-Centered Leadership & Education Intensive
January 17th – February 7th, 2026
11am to 1pm ET
A Four-Week Certificate Program
In a time marked by uncertainty, burnout, and profound systemic change, leadership and education demand more than technical skill or surface-level reform. They call for leaders who are grounded, reflective, and capable of cultivating environments where people can heal, learn, and thrive—together.
The Healing-Centered Leadership & Education Intensive is a four-week immersive certificate experience designed for educators, leaders, facilitators, and changemakers who are ready to deepen their capacity to lead with integrity, vitality, and care. Rooted in healing-centered education and human-centered leadership practices, this intensive invites participants into a rigorous and restorative learning journey that integrates personal reflection, collective inquiry, and applied practice.
This experience weaves together the work of Dr. Angel Acosta and Dr. Justis Lopez, offering a powerful synthesis of healing-centered education, leadership development, and vitality-based frameworks to support sustainable impact in learning environments and organizations.

Why This Intensive
Across education systems, organizations, and communities, leaders are being asked to hold increasing complexity—often without the space, tools, or support to sustain themselves in the process. This intensive responds to that reality by centering healing not as an add-on, but as a foundational leadership practice.
Participants will explore how healing-centered approaches can:
- Strengthen leadership presence and decision-making
- Cultivate learning environments rooted in dignity, belonging, and care
- Support wellness and vitality while navigating disruption
- Build organizational and community capacity for long-term flourishing
This experience is a practice space, a container for deep learning, and a call to lead differently.
