An invitation…

We are living through a time of rapid cultural transformation and urgent social and ecological needs. 

As psychotherapists and healing practitioners, we are being asked to respond to emergent calls for help at an ever increasing rate. 

While we may have many avenues for clinical training and personal therapy, we rarely have the opportunity to study ourselves and our clients in the context of intergenerational trauma legacies, a context which sheds light on the heightened reactivity and cascade of crises we are seeing on the political stage, in our communities, and on the earth. 

This is an invitation to join a global group for a deep dive into learning and personal growth. Rabbi Dr. Tirzah Firestone will guide our journey with teachings from the fields of Jungian depth psychology, intergenerational trauma healing, and embodied ritual work. Together we will build a foundation for understanding personal, familial, cultural, and archetypal healing, in order to augment the healing modalities we already practice.

The work of intergenerational trauma healing is profound, challenging, and often life-changing.  

We will look not only at personal and familial trauma, but also at collective and cultural traumas that may have impacted our lineages, such as racial injustices, economic exploitation, patriarchal oppression, and loss of rootedness in the natural world.

Our goal is to create a crucible of deep personal healing and nourishment, and simultaneously expand our skills in doing group collective healing work.  

This group is for you if you are longing for professional support and enrichment in a sanctuary of peers, and if you yearn to transform intergenerational cycles of trauma and heartbreak into cycles of renewal and regeneration.

We begin the study on our own selves and our own ancestral lineages, first by studying the structure of the psyche according to Dr. Carl Jung, also known as depth psychology, in which the psyche is seen as a multi-layered facet of a larger ecosystem. Jung’s framework of the psyche will help us understand the psycho-emotional components of trauma, how it can be transferred intergenerationally, and how we can help our clients find healing with the support of a skillful practitioner like you. Later we will move to a neuroscience lens and understand the same issues with the help of epigenetic studies. 

This is an exciting journey, affording much self-transformation and insight, which of course, helps our work with our clients and patients. Hope you can join us, or share with your friends who are in the field!
