About this event

Integrative Trauma Treatment Center (ITTC) is hosting a community event centered on creating connection through conversation, using shared reflection, storytelling, and meaningful dialogue as tools for connection and growth. Together, we’ll watch the Learning through Storytelling video, which explores Rwanda’s remarkable journey of recovery and reconnection after the 1994 genocide. Through guided reflection and open discussion, we’ll examine both Rwanda’s cultural strengths and our own personal and collective pathways to connection. The evening will also include space to share snacks and mingle—offering an opportunity to practice connection in real time.

What to Expect:


Watch the Learning Through Storytelling Documentary created by ITTC
As you watch, consider:

  • Consider Rwanda's ability to recover and connect following 1994 genocide
  • Identify Rwanda's cultural strengths that enabled recovery and reconnection.


Reflection & Dialogue

Use the video as a springboard for personal exploration:

  • What helps me reconnect when I’ve experienced disconnection or pain?
  • What gets in the way of reconnection for me?
  • What does collective healing look like in my own community?


Snacks & Connection

  • Transition into a break with snacks available.
  • Create space for informal mingling and connection—an embodied opportunity to practice the very reconnection we’re discussing.
