This workshop is a 6-hour exploration of the dynamics of trauma and resilience; their expression in our bodies, their active presence in our communities and their relationship to organizing, alliance building and change. We will share tools for expanding our resilience and clarity in the face of oppressive patterns, systems and organizing challenges.

The presenters:

She focuses on sharing tools to address the effects of trauma on our bodies and communities, approaching this work through with transformative and healing justice in mind.
