Images of war and refugees from Ukraine and twenty other conflicts spots. The effects of the pandemic. Inflation. Disrupted supply chains. Social unrest. These major events have rapidly changed our world even as we live with the ongoing threat of the climate crisis. No wonder we can feel off-balance and overwhelmed, sometimes anxious, sometimes paralyzed. No wonder hope feels tenuous.
The ongoing and cumulative effects of collective trauma on your nervous system can be exhausting, affecting your creativity and relationships. Individuals, organizations, congregations, and communities who invest in understanding the impact and energy of trauma---current, generational, historical, perpetration-induced---can learn ways to support their wellbeing.
This time of upending is a marathon, not a sprint. Our trainings can help you or your team pace yourselves. But we all need more than resilience tools. In this changing landscape, we also need an understanding of the links between trauma, structures, and cycles of violence. We need nonviolent ways to work for justice that regenerate relationships and the planet. We need ways to listen from the heart as well as the mind. Check out our offerings.
