About Refugia

Refugia supports systemic change through healing-centered, liberatory practice. We equip the leaders, facilitators, coaches, and practitioners who work inside teams, schools, and communities, so that the spaces they hold become places of resilience and renewal. We resource the people who resource others. Like a refugium, we don't force change; we tend what is already rooted, and life returns. We do this through five pathways: Rootwork, Threshold, Wellspring, Field and Commons.

Lana Kristine Flores-Jelenjev is a Filipina healing-centered practitioner, facilitator, writer, systems weaver and companion to leaders and organizations working toward a more just world. For more than 20 years she has held learning and healing spaces across cultures and continents.

Today she accompanies leaders of international organizations and networks as they reimagine their organizations from the inside out. Her work weaves three ways of knowing: Sikolohiyang Pilipino (Filipino psychology), which understands the self as shared with others, as kapwa (shared self); neuroscience and nervous system literacy, which show how stress, safety and connection live in our bodies; and a systems-weaving lens that sees organizations as living webs of relationships, histories and possibilities.
