You may have been a participant of the workshop, or someone curious in the concepts of collective trauma and healing. This digital space serves as a theoretical archive to understand the design and activities of the In relation workshop, and to share the key research concepts that informed, and inspired our work.
Before exploring this digital space, here is some important context on our work:
Why was this workshop created?
<aside> 🌕 In summary, the premise behind this workshop is: "Movement, sound immersion, and social sharing of emotions can help create a sense of well-being and group connection during a challenging social period: the COVID-19 pandemic."

Workshop flow
The workshop is based on 3 key disciplines: somatic psychology + sociology + creative arts therapy (dance-movement therapy and music therapy).
In Part 1, we explore the concepts of interoception and practice mind-body connection from the field of somatic psychology.
In Part 2, we practice "social sharing of emotions" to address collective trauma, from the field of sociology.
In Part 3, we explore proprioception and relational empathy, from the field of dance movement therapy.
Part 1 and 3 are also enhanced by original and live soundscapes, based on concepts from the field of music/sound therapy.
