Seeds Will Grow

Sharing the following webinar hosted on December 19, 2024, by my PCI colleague, Mirela Popaja-Hadžić:

At the root of any violent conflict, we can find painful wounds turning us against each other. Whether civil war, racism, toxic polarization, or bullying, unhealed trauma of all types drive us apart.

But our pain doesn’t condemn us to more violence. Healing and peace are possible.

Peace Catalyst’s Mirela Popaja-Hadžić, therapist and trauma awareness trainer, hosted this workshop on principles for healing and transforming trauma as part of transforming our communities. Drawing upon her experience healing her personal trauma and helping others heal in post-war Bosnia-Herzegovina, Mirela

• Shares five key principles and practices for transforming trauma into peace.
• Guides participants in reflecting on where trauma has impacted their own communities and lives.
• Facilitates an interactive conversation about how participants can apply five practices to trauma-informed peacebuilding in their own communities.
