HEALING-CENTERED SYSTEMS CHANGE JOURNEY: A COURSE BY THE COLLECTIVE CHANGE

There is a movement toward healing and restoration underway across the world. We see this as a journey – first becoming trauma informed to see where and how trauma impacts our systems, and then moving to becoming healing orientated, building the capacities for healing-centered work. We at CCL believe that “Healing Centered Systems Change” is now vital in creating systems where all beings and our planet can flourish.

Part 1 of our learning series will focus on Trauma-Informed Systems Change, introducing healing inclined practitioners to the ways in which trauma manifests in our systems and holds progress back on our most entrenched social and environmental challenges. This experiential learning journey will give practitioners practical tools and frameworks to see how social change work often sits on top of hundreds of years of trauma entanglements, and without working with those entanglements they can often begin to have a fragmenting impact on the work. This is why we say trauma often leads a system and trauma needs to be healed, not followed.

This series will be co-led by three world-leading trauma and systems experts. Louise Marra, Laura Calderon de la Barca, and John Kania, all internationally recognized leaders on trauma healing and systems change, will be sharing applied wisdom at the heart of healing-centered systems change theory and practice. Louise brings with her significant wisdom and experience in incorporating Indigenous and nature-centric practices into conventional western social change strategy development. She is both a strategist and a “systems healer” that has worked at senior levels of government, philanthropy, nonprofits and business in both the Global North and Global South. Laura is a psychotherapist who specializes in collective and intergenerational trauma, as well as is a collective healing researcher, educator, consultant, linguist and cultural analyst. Together, they reflect the forefront of systemic healing theory and practice. Complimenting the deep trauma healing expertise will be John, author of numerous publications on systems change and a global leader on helping collectives and social change practitioners deepen how collaboration happens. Together, these three world-leading practitioners will guide the learning journey, imparting timeless wisdom and applied knowledge to all participants.
