The Suitcase Project – Workshop

Community Workshop facilitated by Susanne Hunter, MD, RCC

Exploration of Intergenerational Memories – How Do We Relate? 

A gently guided exploration of intergenerational and collective trauma and healing through the Japanese Canadian uprooting experience.

• What are signs in ourselves and others of carrying intergenerational and collective trauma? How does it affect our lives?
• What can we do to contribute to its healing in ourselves and in our community?
• What can we do when we experience or witness mistreatment because of race, gender, culture, age or status?

Preregistration required. Please write to heiwagardensaltspring@gmail.com
