About the Event

What you get:

  • Connect with Community: Engage with other Jews who can relate and support you in a shared space.
  • Validation and Support: Feel acknowledged and validated for the trauma and repercussions of October 7th, specifically for adult Jews living in North America.
  • Safe Space: Openly discuss your ancestors’ pain and suffering in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
  • Biological Insights: Gain a deeper understanding of the biology behind intergenerational trauma.
  • Behavioral Understanding: Learn how "weird" anxious or depressed behaviors can be primal defense mechanisms.
  • Guided Practices: Experience guided exercises to help you reground when overwhelmed by big emotions.
  • Calming Tools: Learn practical tools to work with your body to calm down more effectively.

What It Is:

  • Identity and Trauma: A space to acknowledge and address the trauma related to your Jewish identity, including ancestral trauma and personal experiences of antisemitism.
  • Voluntary Sharing: While sharing is encouraged, there is no expectation or requirement to share personal details.
  • Respecting Privacy: If you choose to share, you will not be expected to share intimate details of your personal or family history.

What It’s Not:

  • No Kvetch-Fest: This is not a place for comparing war stories or one-upping experiences of antisemitism.
  • Not for Immediate Crisis: This workshop does not provide tools for those in acute crisis situations.
  • Not Therapy: This is an educational workshop, not a therapeutic session. No prior experience in therapy is necessary.
  • No Professional Training: This workshop is not a professional training and does not offer Continuing Education Units (CEUs) at this time.
