About this event

This will be the Part 1 workshop on this date, as the original Part 1 was canceled due to low interest

Note: this is a two part workshop, Part 1 will be on September 16th and Part 2 will be on September 23rd. You can find Part 1 here.

Writing to Heal from the Trauma of Racism Description: Racism not only creates trauma but derives from trauma for all involved. Becoming a true ally means having to do the deep work of examining and processing how we learned racism and how it hurts us. Part One of this workshop will offer an understanding of what trauma does to the brain and nervous system, how the body can get safe enough to repair itself, and how writing can help. Writing exercises will include looking at our history of awareness around race, and telling the story of one of the traumatic incidents that shaped us. Part Two is about breaking free of survival patterns that limit our humanity, many of which correspond to characteristics of white supremacy. We will also write about our family histories, traumas, and resilience. We'll get more acquainted with the parts of ourselves we've left behind, and look forward to our next steps as anti-racists. Goals: --To learn what it takes to get racism out of our bodies --To have writing resources available to process the effects of trauma and racism --To remove blame, shame and guilt and replace it with truth, authentic feelings, and empowerment --To create community among people of all colors in the journey of personal as well as societal transformation If you need a brief bio of me: Anais Salibian has been a practicing bodyworker, writer, and writing teacher for over 25 years. These lines of work have merged in her Writing to Heal courses because they address how healing happens in the body.

Note: We are asking for donations workshops as a way to raise money for local Black organizations we partner with. We're suggesting a $5-10 donation, but no one will be turned away if they choose not to donate.
