The Healing of Memories TeamThe first step to healing
The Healing of Memories Workshop is a major step that helps veterans begin the healing journey. It provides a safe place for participants to explore personal histories and gain insight and empathy for themselves and others. Participation provides a safe experiential and interactive way to overcome anger, loss, grief, and guilt and can be one step on the journey to healing and wholeness. It contributes not only to personal healing, but also to the healing of interpersonal relationships. The key to the workshop is that it provides a safe environment for participants to tell their stories. Many veterans have kept these buried deep inside themselves and this has been a barrier to their healing. As they tell their stories and listen to others, they realize that they share a common human bond and that we are all wounded in some way by past experiences.
This workshop is exclusive to women veterans and focuses on themes salient to women who serve in the military.
The workshop begins on Friday evening with a welcome dinner. The opening session introduces the workshop concepts and provides an opportunity for participants to meet with each other. Day two is dedicated to storytelling.
Participants are given time to reflect on their life journey, the events that have caused them pain, and create a drawing of this map. Then, they have time to share their personal experiences in small, facilitated groups with an emphasis on safety, respect, and confidentiality. There is also time for quiet personal reflection and integration. The evening of the second day is set aside to allow participants time to relax together. On the third and final day, the group shares their experiences, common themes, and lessons learned. The workshop closes after lunch with activities designed to help the veteran release the painful experiences and celebrate the future. The first step has been taken on the rest of the journey and it is now time to look to the future.
