07 Dec Survivor Writing Workshop with Donna Jenson & Dr. Emily Samuelson (Session Two)
Part of the Ending Violence Without Violence Virtual Training Series
From 1:30 PM until 4:00 PM
At Zoom Meeting
Presented by the New York State Coalition Against Sexual Assault, Seven Dancers Coalition, and Interrupting Criminalization: Research in Action / info@nyscasa.org
Survivors sometimes need opportunities to think, share, and collaborate together—as survivors. This workshop was developed by survivors in order to create a uniquely supportive environment within which participants can explore and share their experiences and have their voices heard, respected and understood. The survivor-led format is a unique platform using writing and mindfulness practices to facilitate personal exploration and community building.
The virtual workshop will be facilitated by Donna Jenson and Dr. Emily Samuelson. Donna Jenson is founder of Time To Tell™, playwright and performer of the one-woman play, What She Knows: One Woman's Way through Incest to Joy, and author of Healing My Life from Incest to Joy, a narrative of the choices she made and experiences she had that helped her heal from her childhood trauma. Dr. Emily Samuelson is author of Soaring Above the Ashes: Thriving Beyond Childhood Sexual Abuse, a book which shatters a prevailing myth of brokenness by celebrating extraordinary “ordinary” people who have moved through their abuse to create joyful and empowered lives.
