2020 Conference Panel on Historical Trauma and Recovery

THE HISTORICAL TRAUMA MASTER CLASS COHORTS of 2018 & 2019
This dynamic and intuitive training offers a unique approach to recover from complex traumatic events with researched and culturally relevant tools. A somatic, body-based approach which cultivates personal and cultural memory; clears emotional patterns; breaks personal trends of abuse, addiction, struggle and grief; tracks patterns of sexual abuse, remedies chronic pain and repetitive injury; and heals relational dynamics. We look through the lens of a 7 generational recovery approach – with the primary focus being on what is happening currently.
Panelists Laura Fragua-Cota, Shara Moscinska (2018 Cohort), Holly Chee and Beverly Billie (2019 Cohort) reflect on the training and its impact in their communities.
The Historical Trauma Master Class is led by Dr. Ruby Gibson,  Executive Director of Freedom Lodge, which hosts the Black Hills Historical Trauma Research & Recovery Center. Dr Gibson has developed two intergenerational healing models – Somatic Archaeology© and Generational Brainspotting,™ Accessing our Body and Mother Earth as the sources of biological, emotional and ancestral wisdom, her researched tools and techniques impart knowledge and provide hope to those seeking remedies to personal and cultural suffering.
Dr. Gibson’s book, My Body, My Earth: The Practice of Somatic Archaeology, will be available at the Conference Marketplace.
