Skills for prevention, recognition, co-regulation, and integration of trauma within our communities. 

​

Human connections are one of our strongest healing resources and, at the same time, the channel through which we may suffer our most traumatizing experiences. The trauma inflicted by one human being onto another is, in general, the most difficult to heal. Based on this understanding, since many years, I have been gradually shifting the focus of my work from working with individuals to working with communities. After working for several years with Somatic Experiencing and Family Constellations, the current focus of my investigations is on using and adapting these tools for collective healing and the creation of healthier communities.

 

I am very pleased to offer this new training together with Kosha Joubert, CEO of Global Ecovillage Network. Weaving together Kosha's extensive experience in building communities, and my own experience working with trauma in various countries, we want to offer you tools for prevention, recognition, and transformation of trauma within our communities.
