The Wisdom of Trauma - Movie Premiere

The Wisdom of Trauma - Movie Premiere

N/A
June 8, 2021 June 14, 2021

Trauma is the invisible force that shapes our lives. It shapes the way we live, the way we love and the way we make sense of the world. It is the root of our deepest wounds. Dr. Maté gives us a new vision: a trauma-informed society in which parents, teachers, physicians, policy-makers and legal personnel are not concerned with fixing behaviors, making diagnoses, suppressing symptoms and judging, but seek instead to understand the sources from which troubling behaviors and diseases spring in the wounded human soul.

With this film, we hope to touch many people, begin a conversation, and develop a common understanding about how trauma impacts our individual lives, communities and society as a whole.*

Join us for our first online screening the week of June 8-14th for a week-long screening plus a 7-day teaching series on trauma with leading experts in the field.
