About this Event

A Musical Poetry Experience CelebratingOur Resilience and Strength - In Spite of Trauma

What is trauma?
We all experience trauma, or we have. Trauma sits inside of our bodies until it has a chance to be released. Mentally, physically, sexually and emotionally -- trauma can be experienced. This includes not only how other people's actions impact us - but the actions of the broader world.
Support in HEALING TRAUMA is often realized through creative experiences, including poetry reading -- AND the integration of fun music.
While the feature reader will be speaking about her own personal trauma experiences from childhood and adulthood, we will be also be talking about trauma of the "every day" type - including the challenges we are facing as a nation, the feelings being brought up from great change, and the trauma of not feeling heard.
A GENTLE LOOK AT TRAUMA
As a trauma-informed poetry experience, complete with creative experiential sharing, attendees will gain personal insight that enables them to begin their sensuality journey. Although a variety of "power of overcoming" spoken word readings will be shared, we will also have FUN - with the inclusion of FUNKY GROOVY music (Georgia's own style of affirming inner strength).
Through the emphasis is reconnecting participants to their authentic self within and remembering their natural existing bliss - the course also offers a space for shared sisterhood, creativity and compassionate presence.
