Codman Square Can We Talk? is a trauma support program that offers a safe space for people to share their stories of loss, trauma, healing, and hope. This is also a space for listening, which is a way for offering support. This program is modeled after the Can We Talk? of the Cory Johnson Program for Post-Traumatic Healing.

This is made possible by a collaboration of Churches, community faith-based organizations, and neighbors from the Codman Square community.

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

 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.
