” WorldWork, 2014. in Varsaw I experienced 500 people dedicated to total attention to the healing and shifting of the collective pain that is being held and spaced in our daily lives. The subtleties of seemingly innocent words and half sentences may well surge up into trauma-release based catharsis...”

“Healing History 2014 in Bonn was an incredibly deep experience for me. Gary supported me in working with my trans-generational and collective trauma related to the Holocaust experiences of my Jewish ancestors. I felt witnessed and held. Clean and clear, trusting each other, without shame. We moved to that space “beyond the stories” where new possibilities can emerge and manifest.”  (Shared by a participant of Healing History 2014)

I founded the Healing History project after I became aware of the need of so many to make sense of the history of their people; the way that history is repeating itself; and the need to change this and make a more humane world.

Growing up in Poland in communist times and being involved in political changes which seemed unthinkable before, I know how much our inner world is shaped by history. But I have also experienced that a historical situation as well as our perception and feelings around it may change: transforming consciousness really makes a difference.
