Join us for “Trauma, Healing, and Reconciliation” at the 2020 Canadian School of Peacebuilding with instructor Kelly Bernardin-Dvorak. Courses are available for professional development, personal inspiration or academic credit. This course will be a creative exploration of current discourses in trauma, healing, and reconciliation, and will focus on current theories and practices influencing helping professions and disciplines. There will be an emphasis on approaches that address violence, oppression, and colonialism in ways that build peace, humanize systems, and unify communities. Participants can expect dialogue circles, storytelling, and expressive art-making as a means to deepen personal awareness and strengthen practices and the expansion of helping skills towards collective wellbeing. This course is rooted in an understanding that the more we work towards being a diverse and respectful “US,” the less we are pushed towards dividing practices that result in an oppressed or othered “THEM.” Find out more at csop.cmu.ca and apply before April 1, 2020.
