Extra Info:A workshop with Jerry Fromm and Richard Morgan-Jones

Bullets don’t just travel through skin and bone. They travel through time.
These words were tattooed onto the shoulder of a young woman whose father was shot during “The Troubles” in Northern Ireland.
This wrenching, volatile but also binding truth is the subject of Jerry Fromm’s new book Traveling through Time and of this Workshop. It’s a truth about traumatic experiences that happen to a family, but also to a society and to the organizations that link these intimate units with the larger context of history and culture. And it’s also a truth about the way trauma plays out over time, including between generations.
This set of in-depth presentations and discussions will take up various manifestations of trauma and considerations about how to understand and address them. This work will also address dynamics within campaigning and social justice organizations, where there can be the challenge of containing conflicting emotions, especially between sub-groups, leading to the need to attend to trauma alongside the need to recruit and fight for the cause.
The workshop also features the use of the Trilogy Matrix, a reflective methodology that provides the possibility of thinking more clearly about the interrelatedness of personal, group and contextual trauma dynamics. The Workshop will be structured as three half-day sessions.
