CAE’s on-site programs focus on women, transgender1 people, teen women, trans-youth, and children. Off-site we work with many individuals and communities (including boys and men) experiencing violence and the threat of violence.

Within all our teaching we strive to create a diverse environment inclusive and welcoming of people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, cultures, ages, sexualities, abilities, body types, gender identities, and histories. Who we are informs how we learn and experience training. Because of this, in all of CAE’s programs and classes we work to create a non-competitive setting in which students are encouraged to progress together, but are given the space to set and challenge their own limits – whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. We present a range of options for people’s needs and abilities, but work to not impose a hierarchy on them. In this way we support all our journeys.
