Trauma, Healing, and Empowerment in Asian America

Catalog description

In these perilous times we need places of refuge where we can affirm our humanity and renew our commitment to social justice. Using historical and collective trauma of Asian Americans as a focus, we illuminate our current struggles to find meaning and balance in the face of anti-Asian violence. In a beloved community we gently witness and touch our wounds, finding healing and empowerment. Women elders lead us in healing practices that are experiential, embodied, and creative expression. Our practices are based in Heartfulness, mindfulness, compassion, and responsibility. This self-reflective process uses narrative, oral and written, as a way of becoming whole, healing wounds of home, community, roots, and identity.
