In a world shaped by generational harm, social division, and ongoing upheaval, this immersive workshop series offers a space to reflect, restore, and reconnect.
The six-part series explores how trauma lives not just in individuals – but also in systems, communities, and collective memory.
With a blend of experiential practice and small and large group work, each session helps to make sense of collective trauma through a relational, embodied, and socially conscious lens.
This series is designed for mental health professionals at all levels who are interested in going beyond the individual-focused frame of trauma work to name, navigate, and respond to the larger forces shaping clients' experiences and our own.
Over the course of the series, you’ll explore:
- How trauma is transmitted through generations, institutions, and cultural systems
- How dominant socially constructed narratives shape what we see and how we respond
- Ways to engage ancestral grief, communal mourning, and embodied presence in your clinical work
- How to become a more attuned, relationally grounded practitioner — especially in complex sociocultural contexts
