Seminars for Trauma Awareness and Resilience

STAR Seminars, or "Strategies for Trauma Awareness and Resilience", focus on breaking cycles of violence in individuals, communities, and societies. STAR seminars explore responses to trauma after natural or human-made disaster and violence, strategies to transform trauma, and worker-self care. STAR seminars focus on trauma healing using a unique lens from the disciplines of peacebuilding, restorative justice, conflict transformation, organizational leadership, and development. STAR seminars at the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding run for 5 days and typically draw persons from around the world as well as from many different states in the U.S. who are working at various aspects of trauma or peacebuilding work--from local communities, to clinical work, disaster work, NGO humanitarian aid, post-war reconstruction, to relief and development. The seminars are located on the campus of EMU's Center for Justice and Peacebuilding, a 2 hour drive from Washington D.C. and located in the heart of the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
