Through a combination of conversation and experiential practice, participants will learn about the psychological and physiological effects of intergenerational trauma and discover holistic approaches to healing and resilience. This program explores the historical trauma experienced by African Americans as a result of the Middle Passage, enslavement, and the enduring legacy of systemic racism.
This program consists of the following components:
Historical Context: Participants are provided an overview of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, highlighting the psychological and emotional toll of forced migration, enslavement, and the erasing of much of African cultural heritage.
Intergenerational Trauma: Delving into the concept of intergenerational trauma, a line is drawn from the initial trauma of the Middle Passage to the continued experiencing of racial injustice and how it is passed down and compounded from generation to generation.
Healing Practices: Participants are introduced to the benefits of deep breathing and the therapeutic use of singing bowls and harmonic sound to inspire mindfulness. A discussion on how these practices can help regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, and promote emotional healing gives participants practical stress reducing tools they can use in everyday life.
Experiential Session: Participants experience a soothing sound bath.
