About the Films
The Wisdom of Trauma: Trauma shapes the way we live, love, and understand the world—often silently influencing our deepest wounds. The Wisdom of Trauma, inspired by Dr. Gabor Maté’s groundbreaking work, offers a transformative vision of a trauma-informed society. Instead of focusing on fixing behaviors or suppressing symptoms, it invites us to understand the roots of human suffering with compassion and insight.

The Eternal Song reveals how colonial legacies have fractured our connection to nature, community, and our own ancestral roots. Through voices from around the world and generations past and present, this film invites us to witness these ongoing scars and to awaken to the healing power of kinship with Mother Earth. It is a sacred call back to belonging — a reminder of the eternal song of life that connects us all. Reserve Your Seat forThe Eternal Song Film Screening
