FEATURING DR. GABOR MATÉ
We want to invite you to join us October 4‒10 for a special movie broadcast of The Wisdom of Trauma and a new Talks on Trauma Part 2 series that features Dr. Gabor Maté in conversation with 33+ guests including Bessel van der Kolk, MD, Jewel, Jamie Lee Curtis, Richard Schwartz, Ashley Judd, and many more inspiring souls.
Trauma is the invisible force that shapes our lives. It shapes the way we live, the way we love and the way we make sense of the world. It is the root of our deepest wounds. Dr. Maté gives us a new vision: a trauma-informed society in which parents, teachers, physicians, policy-makers and legal personnel are not concerned with fixing behaviors, making diagnoses, suppressing symptoms and judging, but seek instead to understand the sources from which troubling behaviors and diseases spring in the wounded human soul.
Registration is open for a limited time. Watch the trailer and sign-up to watch the movie here.
*With this film, we hope to touch many people, begin a conversation, and develop a common understanding about how trauma impacts our individual lives, communities and society as a whole.*
