Making room for a more human future.

Out of this work our second project evolved that we call Healing History.

So much of the conflict work in the Middle East would focus on people healing their history with each other and their history experienced before coming to the Middle East. The unresolved issues of World War II hang over the Middle East tensions like a cloud that makes it impossible to enter and perceive the current moment in a clear fashion. We developed a series of workshops and trainings where we go from city to city in Europe helping the various communities process and make sense of what history they collectively carry.

So far we have been in Warsaw, Bonn, Brussels, and Budapest. We look at how unprocessed history tends to repeat itself in the guise of the rising anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim sentiment growing throughout Europe, and the rapid advance of extreme right wing and neo Nazi parties supporting this sentiment. We are in the midst of creating a training program that will certify and support people to carry on the work we do when Healing History is not in their city or country. We feel this can make a real impact in terms of the future of Europe.
