JEWISH GERMAN RECONCILIATION

Our workshops, delegations, presentations and speaking engagements come out of our work with the Jewish-German Project. Since the project began in 2002 as part of The Compassionate Listening Project, we have been giving workshops and presentations/speaking engagements sharing the power and hope of this peace making work. If you would like us to come to your community and speak, do a presentation, or lead a workshop, please let us know. Email: lisa@BermanHealingArts.com

WORKSHOPS: “The Art of Reconciliation”

What would reconciliation be for you? Do you understand the suffering of both sides? Have you ever been deeply heard? We invite you to participate in this ground-breaking peace work where people have come together to heal having been separated through war, violence, or silence to hear each others’ stories and experience our shared humanity.

You will practice and learn the deep listening skills, gain a deeper understanding of the your relationship with conflict, and re-humanize the “other.” Learn to work with your own internal conflicts and judgments to become an instrument for reconciliation and peace.

Our workshops are offered in one and two day formats. Please let us know if you would be interested in attending one of our workshops, or if you’d like us to come to your community and offer a workshop there.

"Transforming the Wounds of War" ( Flyer) (Link)

The day’s program will encourage listening and speaking from the heart in a safe and respectful environment under the guidance of skilled facilitators. From our years of experience in Europe and the U.S. addressing the wounds of World War II, we know that war’s countless scars can pass seamlessly from one generation to the next. The healing of these wounds can be a gift of great proportion – to ourselves, those we care about, and the world around us. Join us on this sacred journey of listening and speaking from the heart.

DELEGATIONS: Compassionate Journey

We invite participants who have a genuine interest in reconciliation and personal healing. The Compassionate Journey will be an intensive training in The Art of Listening building compassion, empathy and trust between all participants. We will listen to our stories as well as others present during the conflict. We will tour memorial sites and we meet and listen to community members still struggling with the conflicts of war and violence. You will come away with a deep experience of our shared humanity andlistening skills applicable in daily conflict situations. 

We invite you to participate in our groundbreaking and heart opening Compassionate Journey and to hear each other’s stories and experience our shared humanity. Many of us avoid going back to where wars and conflicts began, as we carry the generational and collective wounds of these wars. This Compassionate Journey is for those who are ready to cross this bridge - not alone, but together as members of the delegation. It offers a way for healing and for building peace and reconciliation.
