Free Workshop: Caring for the Collective
Available to paid subscribers through end of day 5/9/24
Hello, This Page is a Portalers. As is my tradition on this page, I am offering up a a pre-recorded workshop for a limited time to paid subscribers.
This workshop is for any of you who are consistently exposed to trauma, injustice, and toxic stress in your professional, community or familial roles, and are interested in enhancing your journaling practices as a form of self and collective care.
🎀 This workshop is different than the “Journaling Practices for Navigating Grief and Trauma” workshop, as it is specifically designed for people exposed to vicarious trauma in their work or other roles (whereas the other workshop is for direct survivors of trauma and loss).
See below for more information, and reach out if you have questions.
The workshop is 1 hour and 20 minutes, and includes:
what to expect from the workshop
how to prepare
embedded captions (turn off any auto captions on your device if you don’t want double captions)
a corresponding guidebook with rituals and practices to support your journaling practice
a PDF with all the writing prompts from the workshop for easy access
a downloadable PDF of relevant images for printing, cutting, pasting
additional resources with links
NOTE: We are currently living through increasingly difficult times with oppression and violence live streaming from our phones. As I write this, students on college campuses across the US face brutal police suppression of their protest against the genocide in Gaza, their own college administrations turning on them. Close to 40,000 Palestinians have been murdered by the Israeli military in 6 months, including close to 15,000 children - and they show no signs of stopping. Families of Israeli hostages are demanding a ceasefire; globally the calls for ceasefire are loud and clear. All of this is trauma. Some aren’t paying attention at all. Those of us who are, are hurting. Some of us have lost loved ones in both Israel and Gaza, and are directly impacted. For those of us who have long been exposed to vicarious trauma in our work, this exposure compounds what we were already carrying.
I hope this workshop offers a bit of balm, helping you to build creative practices that can hold the sorrows of this world with the joys. Ceasefire now. Free Palestine. Hostages home. Peace.
All elements of the workshop are gathered together on the class Notion page, linked below the paywall. It will be available to you all through 5/9/24 (my birthday!). After that, it will be available for purchase at journalasaltar.com.
📌 PLEASE do not share the link below with anyone; we are operating on an honor system here. I love this work, AND it is work that I deserve to be paid for. We all deserve to be paid for our work. That means you, too. ** If you know someone who would benefit from this content, but can’t afford to purchase the workshop, please email me. ** Thank you. ❤️
