Description

Healing from the Roots: An Embodied + Facilitated viewing of The Wisdom of Trauma The Omaha Social Impact Ecosystem invites the Omaha community to an embodied + facilitated viewing and discussion of The Wisdom of Trauma to explore together the connection between individual and collective trauma. We are curious how this exploration may unlock compassion, create personal and systems-level change and heal community. Understanding the root cause of systemic problems such as addiction, homelessness, disease and incarceration helps connect individual trauma to systemic trauma and shifts mindset from “what is wrong with you?” to “what happened to you?” It underscores the necessity of compassion for both inner work and community work, stresses authenticity and connection as essential and celebrates the humanity and dignity of all.
