SUMMARY:Elder Kerrie Moore\, Trauma and Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Date: Monday\, October 3\, 2022\nTime: 9:00 am – 12:00 pm\nWhere: Online\nFacilitator: Elder Kerrie Moore \nDescription: \nTrauma is passed down for seven generations.  Trauma is a repetitive experience that creates behaviours and beliefs which continue epigenetically creating behaviours that are continually expressed. Unless we experience a new positive repetitive behaviour our brain will continue with the old negative behaviours. This workshop will address Trauma and the historical negative patterns which create intergenerational Trauma. \nWe will also explore changing our brain and healing methodologies through an Indigenous and wholistic framework. In order to support resilience within an Indigenous worldview\, a wholistic way of knowing will be identified. \nClick here to register.

If interest in the sessions exceeds availability\, we will consider repeating the sessions in the spring\n\n -This workshop is the same content as the January 23\, 2023\, Unconscious and Implicit Bias full-day session. \nClick here to register.
