originally published by Eastern Mennonite Seminary

Register now for new conflict transformation workshops offered by Eastern Mennonite Seminary during the 2023 Summer Peacebuilding Institute.

Coming soon: “Becoming Resilient Leaders with Trauma-Aware Practices” with Rev. Dr. Beverly Prestwood-Taylor, an ordained UCC minister, the founder of HomeFront Strong (formerly the Brookfield Institute), and a highly sought-after expert in Strategies for Trauma Awareness and Resilience (STAR).

This workshop is based upon the STAR training developed by EMU’s Center for Justice and Peacebuilding. Participants will examine harmful patterns of relationships that can develop during rapid transition and community trauma. Then we will learn to take up faith-based leadership practices that can help us manage and transform negative patterns. And finally, we will discover ways to build on lifegiving patterns that can emerge during crisis and change.
