The workshop explores white settler trauma and the traumatic effects of colonization. Workshop participants will take part in creating a community basket as the presenter weaves her own tale of intergenerational trauma and healing and leads the discussion of colonization, healing our lineage, working from a social justice model as art therapists, and we will talk about how we can use our privilege to alleviate oppression.
