Healing the Wounds of History presents Descendants of Holocaust Survivors An afternoon of reflection on the impact and meaning of our Holocaust legacies Conducted by Armand Volkas, MFT, RDT/BCT and Nadine Payn, Ph.D. Sunday, March 12th, 2006 1p.m. to 5 p.m. The Living Arts Counseling Center $70 (Limited Discount Scholarships Available)   Workshop Description Descendants of Jewish Holocaust survivors are invited to explore and share how their historical inheritance has impacted them. Through dialogue, expressive arts and therapeutic processes, participants will give shape and meaning to their Holocaust legacies and take steps towards healing their personal and collective wounds.   Healing the Wounds of History is a process in which psychotherapy, drama and expressive arts therapy techniques are used to work with a group of participants who share a common legacy of historical trauma. The process was developed by Armand Volkas, a psychotherapist and drama therapist from Oakland, California.  Volkas is the son of Auschwitz survivors and resistance fighters from World War II.   He was moved by his personal struggle with this legacy of historical trauma to address the issues that arose from it:  issues around identity, victimization and perpetration, meaning and grief. Healing the Wounds of History helps participants work through the burden of such legacies by transforming their pain into constructive action through acts of creation and acts of service.
