Healing of Memories Workshop for All Veterans
We believe individuals feel healed and empowered when personal stories are heard and acknowledged. Human relationships can be transformed and restored through deep listening and meaningful sharing.
The Healing of Memories workshop is a safe place for participants to explore personal histories and gain insight and empathy for themselves and others.
This workshop from the Institute for Healing of Memories is a response to the emotional, psychological and spiritual wounds inflicted by war, human rights abuses and other life-changing traumatic circumstances. This life-changing workshop is proven to help participants learn ways to overcome anger, loss, grief and guilt. Not only is it a step on the journey to personal healing, but also it contributes to the healing of interpersonal relationships.

- “This was not what I expected… but exactly what I needed!”
