Ro’i Rose is a third-year Psy.D. student at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) and a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) with over 20 years of experience in trauma-informed coaching. His doctoral research centers on "Beyond Rehab," a project dedicated to designing a sustainable, nature-based community for the unhoused. This model integrates trauma-informed therapy, meditation, and somatic healing to address the root causes of addiction. Drawing from his own journey to sustained abstinence and his training at the Monastic Academy (MAPLE) , Ro'i aims to bridge somatic resilience with communal recovery.
