Every human being has a true genuine authentic self and the trauma is that disconnection from it and the healing is the reconnection with it - Gabor Maté

There is growing recognition of the impact of trauma on individuals as well as the plight of traumatised communities and societies. Since the start of the pandemic, the percentage of traumatised individuals has drastically increased. Given the link between mental wellbeing and trauma it is crucial that we reach out to all members of society to provide essential mental health support. The Healing Resilience and Empowerment Program is designed to provide relief and healing to those who have experienced trauma through a combination of breath work, movement and meditation.

The project is in need of funding to support our work in reaching out to various groups and communities most in need of assistance. In these times it will be crucial to provide support to those who have lost loved ones and have faced extreme challenges during the pandemic, as well as the countless frontline workers who have been pushed to the brink. All project members are volunteers and funding would enable us to set up a sustainable support structure and to organise these workshops on a bigger scale.
