We need a REMEDY...
A way to EMBODY, 
A way to DESTRESS,
A way to BE SEEN & HEARD,
 A way to HEAL,
A way to JOY,
And a way to BE THE CHANGE.

In a world that often rushes past our feelings and rewards perfection over presence, The Remedy offers something rare and essential: A space to slow down, tune in, express yourself, and connect deeply — with yourself and with others.

Why this matters NOW

We believe that creativity, expression, and connection are the missing keys to healing, integration, and living forward with purpose.

You know the difference between casual conversation and soul connection.

You know the difference between sharing to be polite — and sharing to be real.

Our stories shape us.
Sometimes they’ve harmed us.
But when we step into our power and own our stories, we begin to reclaim our radiant, messy, beautiful selves.

In a culture that pressures us to look perfect, many of us have learned to hide what’s raw, wild, and real.

The Remedy is your permission slip to show up as you are.

What exactly is The REMEDY?

The Remedy is a weekly expressive arts practice — and a living ritual.
It’s a fusion of movement, music, writing, sharing, and rest designed to help you process life and reconnect with your joy, wisdom, and wholeness.

Created by Toni Bergins and Joy Lynn Okoye, The Remedy is held in a sacred container where you can be yourself, express what’s true, and be witnessed without judgment.

Together, we take the energetic pulse of the world and respond through musical alchemy, soulful prompts, and deep community care.

• Dance and move with a curated 20–30 min expressive playlist

• Write and reflect with guided soul-centered prompts

• Share and be witnessed in small, compassionate groups

• Connect with a powerful, supportive community

• Co-create healing through poems, songs, and spontaneous expression

• Feel seen. Heard. Held.
  

"I’m so grateful that you've created a community to transform our struggles into hope and connection.  The Remedy & JourneyDance class is my therapy these days! I feel joyful and like we can conquer the world. Thank you for holding space for all of us to laugh, cry, and dance our way to the other side."

“Thank you, let me take this opportunity to tell you that The Remedy has been such a gift. Toni and Joy have obviously put so much heart, thought, and energy into this program. It has been a comfort and an awakening for me. It has quite simply brought a feeling of abundance, connection, and creative expression back to my life, which was honestly quite numbed out over the past half year.”

- C.S.

“Words cannot really describe how much The Remedy has uplifted me over the past 18 days, but it only seems fitting to write them anyway. I’ve had a lifelong desire to bring both dance and writing into my daily life and it’s been an epic struggle to make it happen. This beautiful program has revealed the alchemical ingredient that’s been missing: Connection. Dancing in community. Writing in community. And most importantly, SHARING that writing immediately, and in community. My writings and the inspired creations that my Remedy sisters have shared have created a space of such aching beauty that I don’t believe I could have created alone, particularly in these times. Even on mornings when I’m exhausted and am sure I have nothing to offer, magic has emerged. I want to keep doing this every day, forever. Thank you so much Toni and Joy for bringing us The Remedy!”

“Taking part in The Remedy was one of the best decisions I've made lately.  I came for the body movement.  I stayed for the whole experience: moving in community, hearing poetry, the compelling writing prompts, actually writing after a movement process and being witnessed and honored.  I already love to dance.  But I have loved to write in this container just as much.  Toni and Joy compassionately and passionately welcome each of us and all our parts.  I'm thrilled The Remedy will continue in a new form.”
