COVID ROADMAP WORKSHOP
In this moment of political and global transition, the pressure to respond to the suffering in the world seems ever-mounting. For organizations, schools, governments, companies and community groups this pressure can lead to serious breakdowns in morale, health, communication, internal connectivity and external partnerships. But rarely are people offered the necessary tools to navigate and sustain themselves during moments of transition or crisis. In order to address this escalating trend, the Genesis Healing Institute designed a special training. This workshop assists community & institutional leaders as well as mental health practitioners to utilize the roadmap as a tool for sustained and holistic healing.
Description:
There is a complex web between an individual's experience of trauma and the contributing environmental, political, institutional & historical factors at play. This complexity entreats a tension not easily reconciled. While it is true that most trauma in our society stems from a larger social, economic, and/or political injustice, for an individual to begin their healing journey at such a scale can be overwhelming, disorienting and quite taxing. Yet on the other hands, healing efforts which individualize trauma to the exclusion of larger systemic/historic oppression, violence and injustice, are anemic, ineffective, and complicit in perpetuating the very trauma it professes to heal. Striking the proper balance between “the personal” and “the political” is a delicate healing art form. In order to help navigate this tension, the Genesis Healing Institute has developed a roadmap meant to help individuals and healing practitioners navigate the journey toward healing during this pandemic. This workshop is intended for individuals, groups and organizations wishing to utilize this roadmap.
