After 2.5 years of working together, our Trauma Training Team finally presented our first two-day conference in October 2024 for our community filled community led workshops that focused on challenges we face: colonial trauma, attachment wounds, shame, lateral violence and grief. This was closed by a visit by Dr. Gabor Mate on our territory! I feel grateful and proud of our team! I feel the momentum of healing a comin’!
My group presented on the connections between shame and lateral violence in communities as a by product of multigenerational and colonial trauma. All of our workshops are rooted in experiential learning and ceremony, where your affective and felt emotions act as teachers around a certain subject with our traditional ways of healing integrated to support integration.
