JUNGIAN LECTURE: Wounds into Wisdom: Healing Intergenerational Trauma for Ourselves and Future Generations

by Rabbi Tirzah Firestone, PhD.

The residues of ancestral trauma reverberate in civil society, our families, and even in our bodies. Today, the cultural wounds fostered by centuries of racism, colonization, and patriarchal abuses clammer for our attention. Bringing compassionate awareness to these historical knots of pain, beginning with our own ancestries, we can generate profound healing and transformation for ourselves and our families.

In this time of upheaval, change, and unparalleled possibility, our ancestors’ legacies of wisdom and resilience call to us to inspire and guide us on the path ahead. This two-hour online teaching with award-winning author, Rabbi Dr. Tirzah Firestone, offers an experiential opportunity to explore the pressing work of transforming the legacies that have come to us from our own ancestors, as templates for the larger collective unconscious. She will employ premises rooted in Jungian psychology, neuroscience, and epigenetics, and share her own personal research with trauma survivors around the world.
