Restoring Resilience is honoured to be co-hosting the Recreating Songlines from Trauma Trails - Weaving Indigenous Wisdom, Somatic Experiencing® and Collective Healing on the lands of the Bundjalung Nation — led by Dr Judy Atkinson and Dr Caroline Atkinson (We Al-li), in collaboration with Dr Peter A. Levine, Maggie Kline, Ash Dargan, and Restoring Resilience Co-Founders Anna Skolarikis and Phyllis Traficante. This seminar weaves We Al-li Storywork and Somatic Experiencing® through the lens of Two-Eyed Seeing — walking with both eyes open: one eye grounded in Indigenous cultural knowledge, sovereignty, and ways of being one eye informed by deep observation of nature, physiology, instinct, and the body’s innate capacity to heal Together, these ways of knowing help restore what has been fragmented — returning people, families, and communities to belonging, dignity, and wholeness. Held by Lake Ainsworth — a place of cleansing, reflection, and renewal — participants will move through a culturally held process of listening, story, movement, learning, and remembrance, guided by Country as teacher. The Northern Rivers seminar is designed to: Honour the leadership, wisdom, and sovereignty of First Nations Peoples Practise Two-Eyed Seeing as a respectful meeting place between Indigenous and non-Indigenous healing knowledges Deepen into We Al-li’s 6 Stages of Healing, as articulated by Dr Judy Atkinson Explore Somatic Experiencing® as a body-led, nature-informed approach to healing trauma, rooted in the study of animals in the wild, human physiology, and the rhythms of regulation and recovery Introduce The GROW Program practices, strengthening relational repair within families, services, and communities Support the emergence of Relational Proprioception™ — the nervous system learning safety through relationship and connection Foster pathways of reciprocity, responsibility, and collective wellbeing across cultures
