Program Description: 

This series of workshops is designed to promote understanding of the shared wounds that shape our communities and the paths we may forge toward collective resilience. In a world marked by social upheaval, environmental crises, and historical injustices, we will focus on traumas that extend beyond individuals to groups, cultures, and nations.

The workshop format includes a blend of small and large group sessions, experiential practices, and discussions of pre-assigned video materials featuring leading voices in the field. This structure is designed to engage participants on cognitive, emotional, and somatic levels, fostering an embodied understanding of collective trauma and healing.

The workshops provide an opportunity to explore the broader social and historical contexts that influence individual suffering and resilience. By participating in immersive experiences, participants will deepen their capacity to recognize collective patterns and strengthen their role as facilitators of communal healing. The gathering is designed to be restorative as well as educational —supporting participants in processing their own experiences within a collective setting.
