Trauma Support Group Formation

Last chance to sign up, Groups start 6/25! At Common Thread, we’re creating a soft, confidential space for those carrying trauma—recent or long-held—to gently begin the work of naming, sharing, and releasing. This is not therapy, and no one will try to fix, save, or correct. Instead, we’ll unpack our stories slowly, kindly—honoring each story as it’s told, just as it was experienced. Led by the Rev. Heather Olson, who as a Veteran’s Administration chaplain has been trained and grounded in VA trauma support models, this pilot program will include nervous system regulating and contemplative practices. The group will follow a loose arc over six sessions, living into values that support healing and well-being. There’s room for gut-led facilitation, poetry, and silence too. If you’ve been carrying something for a long time, or just need to be witnessed in a safe and sacred circle, you are welcome here. Please sign up below with your session of choice. The groups will be capped at 8 participants. Sign Up

Event Series Drop-In Self Awareness

Drop-In Self-Awareness

Room 209

When we observe ourselves feeling and reacting from unsettling emotions like anger, sadness, and fear, the self awareness practice helps us investigate so we can release stories and patterns that no longer serve our wellbeing and so we can embrace ourselves and others with more compassion and grace. If you want to learn more about the self awareness practice, please drop in and observe 2 members of the Common Thread Community do this practice together. No prior knowledge or experience is required and everyone is invited and welcome. We will meet in Room 209. Feel free to bring your lunch/snack if desired. Get more information about self awareness here
