About this event

Join us to explore the profound impact of trauma awareness and the trauma-informed approaches on personal, professional, and societal development. In today's world, trauma is ubiquitous. From unconscious biases to systemic inequalities, trauma manifests in myriad ways, shaping our perceptions, behaviors, and interactions.

Through engaging discussions and real-world examples, we'll delve into the fundamental thesis that trauma awareness is a key to meaningful transformation. Whether it's navigating unconscious biases, addressing gender disparities, promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion, or fostering employee well-being, understanding trauma is essential.

Our expert speakers, Natalia Bayurova & Sarah Giencke, will highlight the importance of adopting trauma-informed practices not just as part of organizational policies, but as a profound shift in individual and collective consciousness. We'll explore trauma informed strategies for fostering vulnerability, building authentic community connections, and embracing the capacity to be present with our emotions—essential elements for personal and professional growth.

In this AI era where technology often disconnects us from our humanity, we'll emphasize the irreplaceable value of human connection and empathy, and the need for trauma awareness. As we navigate the complexities of modern life, the capacity to be present with “what is,” becomes paramount, serving as the foundation for meaningful transformation at every level.

Whether you're an individual seeking personal growth, a team aiming for greater cohesion, or a company committed to sustainable and regenerative development, this educational session offers invaluable insights into the transformative power of trauma-informed approaches. Join us as we embark on a journey towards authentic connection, resilience, and positive change.
