The White Police Officer in my Upper Left Trapezius: Healing and the Impact of Multi-Generational Trauma in the Body 

Contemporary science is now catching up with what many spiritual practices have known for centuries; we store memories of trauma in our physical bodies as well as through our cultural inheritance. In this interactive evening session, we will explore the impact of multi-generational trauma in our cultural somatic context and how it shows up in our human bodies.
