Healing Intergenerational Trauma for People with Jewish Ancestry: A Somatic Workshop Series

Want to bring healing to the world? Let’s start with ourselves. When unprocessed, incomplete or decontextualized trauma responses persist in us, it impedes our capacity for present moment awareness and differentiating between danger and discomfort, let alone our capacity for navigating complex and charged discussions.

Join us Sunday March 15th, 22nd and 29th, 1-3pm, in the Chochmat HaLev sanctuary for a three-part somatic workshop focused on personal and collective Jewish healing through education about our nervous systems and how ancestral Jewish trauma patterns can spread across generations and oceans without us realizing it. We will learn movement practices that support discovery and healing for us individually, in our families, and in our communities. We will build capacity for having heart and mindful conversations about Israel and Palestine, no matter what our beliefs and feelings are about the long history of tragedies and atrocities there.

This workshop series is being offered as part of our current CHL program focus on dialogue on Israel – Palestine.

The skills we learn experientially and practice will facilitate regulation, resilience, and belonging. We’ll learn how to address any painful, scary or uncomfortable issue with care, authentic embodiment, and the spirit of Tikkun Olam. There will even be moments of fun for some joy with our oy.

***While these workshops can be very beneficial in many ways and are offered by licensed psychotherapists, participation is in no way a form of psychotherapy and does not constitute any kind of contract for mental health services or professional

relationship of any kind.
