What is a Healing of Memories workshop?
Each of us has a story to tell. And every story needs to be heard. Our lives have been marked by events, some of them rather painful. Childhood trauma, unfair treatment, violence, conflict, grief… Some recent events, in particular during the current Covid-19 crisis, may have brought up within us old memories and reopened old wounds.
The healing of memories workshop gives us an opportunity to acknowledge the emotional wounds which we carry, both individually and collectively (within the family, the community, the nation).
It also provides a safe space where we can tell our life story in an atmosphere of confidentiality and respect. When my story is shared, acknowledged and reverenced, I can take one step towards healing personal and interpersonal wounds.
There are no observers in these workshops. Everyone participates fully, including the facilitators.
This healing of memories workshop will, for the first time, be offered in a more concise format and online (on Zoom) as a result of the pandemic.
Participants need to have access to a good internet connection and must make sure that they can be in a quiet space, without any risk of being disturbed, for the duration of the workshop.

What a few participants in recent workshops in Luxembourg
have to say about the experience
‘The fear of passing on to my children poisonous memories is something that pursues me and
sometimes haunts me. The workshop gave me a chance to start healing those memories and, as a result, to consider forgiveness. For me, it was like discovering an oasis in the desert.’
‘The workshop allowed me to heal open and painful wounds that life had inflicted on me.
Taking part in it was a first key step that enabled me to get up and move forward with confidence and peace of mind.’
