Peacebuilding is the development of constructive personal, social-cultural, and political relationships across ethnic, racial and religious identities, class and national boundaries, gender expressions and sexual orientations. It aims to resolve injustice in nonviolent and antiviolent ways and to transform the structural conditions that generate harmful conflict.
Teaching Peace recently completed its second season.
And the workshop, Wounded Healer: Trauma Aware Spiritual Care, is open for January registration.
Teaching Peace is an online series where cohosts, Addie Banks and Jason Storbakken, engage in conversation with educators, scholars and theologians, community organizers, religious leaders, and practitioners to explore various pedagogies of peacebuilding. Teaching Peace is available on all podcast platforms and YouTube.
This two-hour workshop introduces participants to key concepts related to trauma awareness, resilience-building, and ancient/contemporary spiritual practices. Integrating neuroscience, models of nonviolent/antiviolent conflict transformation, and contemplative/embodied spirituality, the Wounded Healer workshop provides an introduction to the basic models, tools, and practices from which clergy, clinicians, and community workers are able to develop a trauma-informed approach to spiritual care that is both contextual and intersectional.
