Abiding in Beloved Community: The Cory Johnson Program through the Lens of Literary Imagination; a Talk by Rev. Liz Walker
Join us as we look at our Cory Johnson Program for Post-Traumatic Healing (CJP) trauma work through the lens of literary imagination. Activists, intellectuals and artists throughout contemporary history have eluded to the beloved community as a place and mindset of grace filled justice and reconciliation. Through the words of Dr. Martin Luther King and literary artists including the incomparable Tony Morrison, Reverend Liz Walker presents a meditation on CJP as the model of that beloved community, a groundbreaking antidote for these troubled times.

Connecting the Dots of Our Stories
The Cory Johnson Program for Post-Traumatic Healing
Thursday, 10/17: Connecting the Dots in Your Story
Often we struggle with questions like “Why is my life so hard? “Will I always feel this overwhelmed?” and “Why do I feel so alone?” This evening will be led by the community companions of the Cory Johnson Program who have asked themselves these and other questions. Along with Wyatt Jackson, one of our artists-in-residence, we will provide a safe and engaging community space to consider the questions at the center of our own stories. Such questions can often connect and point the way to a deeper understanding about our lives.

Healers of the Line: Recognizing & Healing Inherited Trauma
THURSDAY 5/9 at 6:00 PM starting with dinner; FREE and CHILD CARE PROVIDED
Cory Johnson Program for Post-Traumatic Healing
We now know that profound suffering can cause changes to genetic expression, potentially leading to someone in a future generation experiencing the symptoms of a trauma (wound) they didn’t actually experience. Effectively, we are connected across generations through our wounds. Moreover, the consequences of the suffering we experience can cause ripple effects to those we live with and around, including our communities. There is much to learn and understand about these inherited traumas (wounds), including how we can address them now and become ‘Healers of the Line’ so that they don’t continue forward into future generations.
THIS NIGHT WILL FOCUS ON A WAY TO CONSIDER YOUR OWN ANCESTRAL HISTORY AND HOW TO WORK WITH A MODEL ADDRESSING INHERITED TRAUMA
Presented by Colleen Sharka, LMHC, Director, Cory Johnson Program for Post-Traumatic Healing.
