About Us
CoCreate is a hub where education, creativity, and healing come together to reimagine well-being beyond medicalized and capitalist systems. Open to all, we center those historically marginalized by traditional models of care, especially queer, creative, and neurodiverse communities, as well as those with limited financial resources.
Our Core Values
Curiosity
We approach healing and learning with openness, humility, and an eagerness to explore.
Creativity
We see creative expression as a fundamental human right and a vital pathway to growth, connection, and well-being.
Compassion
We embrace diversity in all its forms and meet people with care, respect, and a commitment to healing justice.
Community
We cultivate collective wisdom, shared resources, and belonging beyond institutional systems.
Meet the Team
Our small but mighty core team leads with vision and passion -- by creating & curating values-aligned educational offerings and supporting the development of our community of care.
