We invite you to join us for this screening, integration, conversation, reflection, and workshop.

Trauma is an invisible force that shapes our lives — the way we live, love, and understand the world around us. It is often the source of our deepest wounds.
Dr. Maté offers a new vision: a trauma-informed society in which parents, teachers, doctors, judges, and decision-makers are not focused on suppressing symptoms or judging behavior but instead seek to understand the underlying causes that give rise to distress, illness, and what we often label as “problematic” behavior.
He shows us a path toward both individual and collective healing.
According to Dr. Gabor Maté, the connection between anxiety, chronic illness, and the use of psychoactive substances is real — but not in the way we might usually think.
In the film The Wisdom of Trauma, we follow Dr. Gabor Maté — physician, bestselling author, and recipient of the Order of Canada — as he explores why Western society is facing an epidemic of anxiety, chronic illness, and addiction.

This documentary offers a deeply moving and valuable insight into the life’s work of a man devoted to understanding the connection between illness, addiction, trauma, and society.
The Wisdom of Trauma is a film everyone can benefit from watching. Trauma is not the way we wish to learn — and it is not only the most extreme events that shape us. It is a real human experience we all carry in some form. With a profoundly hopeful perspective, the film shows how we can move from trauma toward wholeness and healing.
The evening will be guided by Edelle O’Doherty trained in Compassionate Inquiry with Dr. Maté.
We hope you will consider joining us.
And if you can't make this one please PM us and we will be sure to notify you of the next screening

It has been a busy few weeks for us so far this month. In the best way.
Finding your place in the world is an ongoing journey.
The best way to bring the best of yourself and what you would like to offer in the world can be a winding road.
To quote A.H. Almaas as it resonates with me so much:
“Your conflicts, all the difficult things, the problematic situations in your life are not chance or haphazard. They are actually yours. They are specifically yours, designed specifically for you by a part of you that loves you more than anything else. The part of you that loves you more than anything else has created roadblocks to lead you to yourself. You are not going in the right direction unless there is something pricking you in the side, telling you, “Look here! This way!” That part of you loves you so much that it doesn’t want you to lose the chance. It will go to extreme measures to wake you up, it will make you suffer greatly if you don’t listen. What else can it do? That is its purpose.”

🙏 Personally I am really looking forward to this Saturday myself.
The peace, tranquility and connection.
And I can't wait to welcome those who join me.
