HEALING PRACTICES and QUAKER SPIRITUALITY
led by Shannon Frediani
We do not store trauma in the mind;
we store trauma in the body.
Living in our world today involves trauma exposure.
Whether healing from personal trauma or
avoiding being traumatized by working with others who suffer from trauma,
we can learn in this workshop a new form of healing
Bringing attention to our bodies can help us bring our nervous systems
back into balance and to come back to one’s own center of peace.
Balancing and returning to one’s center,
where we encounter Spirit, is building our own resilience.
This 2-session series is an introduction to practices that support the resilience needed to meet today’s challenges.
This program will be conducted online and will consist of two 1½ -hour sessions. Participants will have the opportunity to do the following:
10:30 – noon: Recognize and reflect on their own responses to trauma exposure.
Learn to interrupt the trauma response.
1:00 -2:30: Build resilience and new strategies for centering, and
Connect with Spirit and deepen their Quaker faith.
