Truth and Reconciliation: Bringing Together What’s Been Separated

In this workshop we’ll explore the archetypal relationship between victims and perpetrators, and how these roles may live in our family systems. We’ll take a look at what has been separated in our families and in the larger world and explore what can be done to unite the parts.
