Our workshops are
“Powerful” “Vulnerable”
and for those who need it most: “a miracle”
Based in California, the Redwoods are dynamic presenters who speak and give workshops at conferences in North America and Europe. We spotlight being trans and multiple, understanding plurality, and the social change we need to end stigma and liberate all of us.
We are many people in one trans body who have lived through hell to love ourselves. With humor, joy, and honesty, we bring self-understanding, acceptance, and multiplicity that changes how audiences see the world and has the power to save lives. Have you ever heard someone speak publicly about multiple personalities? The silence is killing our community and our breakthrough message helps empower anyone who has ever had to hide their truth.

Testimonials
“Thank you all so much for being vulnerable, putting yourself out there and living your truth so that you could educate people and possibly even help some people realize that they are plural. I feel like I learned a lot about the plural community and I appreciate the work that you put into your presentation and the way you all spoke so eloquently and comprehensively. I’m glad I came to your workshop”- Nico, workshop participant
“I’m so glad we went to your panel, I’ve never experienced anything like that before and I want to keep feeling that feeling.
Lief, audience member
“I wanted to thank you all for your work. I have only had the DID diagnosis since about October 2017, so this model is still very new to me and my partner. I have been very lucky to find a therapist who is an expert in trauma and has been helping me and my parts. Still it was something else altogether to sit in a room with a few dozen other systems! I don’t think I have ever felt so seen and heard and understood.
Coming to your sessions was something of a miracle for me. To be myself, all of my selves, without judgment felt life-giving. Thank you so much!” – Chris, workshop participant
