About us

We’re two queer and trans folk who wanted to create a place where we wanted to go to work, alongside rad folk committed to art, healing and social justice.

Charles Thompson-Shealy is a liberation-centered clinical psychotherapist and the owner of Cenote Therapy. They are a textile and print artist and all-around creative queerdo that loves to make things with his hands and is always down to learn a new artistic technique or medium.

S. Leigh Thompson-Shealy is an equity and justice strategist, consultant and coach, a Theatre of the Oppressed Joker, a master facilitator and joyful trouble-maker. As a former theatre kid, Leigh believes he can make anything with some duct tape, zip ties and binder clips.

We have the same last name because we are family. We raise a kiddo together in a home we share with a dog and cat in Kingston. We are obsessed about community and think it’s our most powerful resource.
