This workbook was designed to support community workers in Palestine towards deepening our understandings and our relationships for ongoing resistance and healing. There are five chapters, organized around a series of our beloved native trees and Indigenous knowledges rooted in our Palestinian lands and communities. 

The authors hope you can utilize this workbook to engage in any activities that feel meaningful and supportive as you build communities of care and co-resistance. In particular, they hope that Palestinian community health workers (CHWs), organizers, health care providers, counselors/therapists, educators, and grassroots activists in Palestine and the Palestinian Diaspora will find their decolonial healing guide to be helpful in this time of impossible grief and colonial genocide by the Zionist settler nation-state. 

They offer this workbook to Palestinian communities as an enactment of hope and decolonial love. We, as Palestinians, face massacre, apartheid, segregation, persecution, mass incarceration, and are condemned to annihilation in so many ways. 

This current online version is NOT the final copy, but it is a draft that they wanted to share right now with the wider public because of the current situation of unspeakable settler colonial violence that our Palestinian people are facing.
