Carlin Quinn, LMFT (She/Her) is the founder/current director of Education For Racial Equity.

‍

She has lived nomadically between Turtle Island and Portugal for the last 4 years and along with having many homes she also enjoys wearing many hats professionally. Most recently these hats have included equity coach, facilitator, therapist, equity consultant to organizations, intentional communities interested in dismantling systems of oppression. Carlin's heart beats for the palpable aliveness that surfaces when humans come together to co-create emergent cultures centered in mutual liberation and rooted in connection, compassion and non-violence. In her equity work she uses the principles of somatic abolitionism, critical race theory, psychodynamic theory and humanistic relational approaches to attempt to loosen the roots of the complex underpinnings of whiteness, white supremacy and other patterns of dominance baked into white western colonial culture.

‍

As someone committed to co-creating fields for emergent healing culture to be created, she knows in her bones that intersectional justice, mutual liberation, and our relationship with mother earth must be at the center of anything that comes next. Because of this knowing Carlin remains an engaged student; one of the earth and of her elders. S

he is grateful for the many ways teachers, ceremonies, mentors, clear lineages, and the long standing practice and privilege of being able to listen deeply in life has supported her commitment to wholeness and Liberation.
