About this event

Join the Trauma Chapter for our final book club gathering of 2025!

Since January, we've gone on a unique, community-centered journey through The Body Keeps the Score by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk. We've taken it one chapter at a time, discussing the book's content and have even co-read together.

Whether you’re new to the book or revisiting its insights, you’ll find a supportive space to engage with the material and build community. Let’s finish off strong, exploring this powerful text together, one insight at a time!

And the last meeting this year we are wrapping up in a hybrid format! In Geneva we will meet in person, in a cozy arts studio run by an artist combining art, inner growth and well-being. We will draw as we read, tapping into the power of art to help us hold, process, express and understand better what's moving and resonating within us as we experience life.

Online places are unlimited, yet in-person events are capped at 12 participants (Geneva), so reserve your spot asap! In Geneva we start gathering at 6p.m., the co-reading starts at 7 p.m. and will go into 8/8:30p.m., then after the zoom space closes we will have an informal tea&exchange, with the guests leaving by 9p.m.
