A Collective

S.L.O.W. Presence Weavers

A collective of healers gathered in the magic of coming together — rooted in sacred accompaniment, communal healing, and transformative justice.

What we believe

At S.L.O.W. Presence, I believe in the magic of coming together. I see the power of sacred accompaniment while engaging in deeper communal healing and transformative justice.

S.L.O.W. stands for: Sensations, Longings, Orientations, Wonderment.

Who this is for

S.L.O.W. Presence Weavers is a collective of healers who identify as POC (person of color), or identify as LGBTQI, or experience neurodiversity — and who own small businesses that support healing, empowerment, holistic health, transformative justice, creativity, and well-being.

Inspired by The Breathe Network, where Dr. Malhotra serves as a volunteer board member. The collective is currently free to join; a nominal fee for technology and administration may be introduced as the network grows.
