The Institute for the healing of Memories seeks to contribute to the healing journey of individuals, communities and nations. Our work is grounded in the belief that we are all in need of healing because of what we have done, what we have failed to do, and what has been done to us.

Specifically the course aims to introduce participants to:

  • Facilitating / co- facilitating Healing of Memories workshops and second phase workshop
  • Theory and practice of the history of the healing of memories workshop design and   training

Programme include:     

  • Exploring the philosophy and work of the Institute of the Healing of memories and national healing frameworks
  • Advance Healing of Memories workshop skills training with a focus on listening skills and giving and receiving feedback.
  • Explore themes of restorative justice, healing and social cohesion.
  • Visit a local community and explore models of community healing.

Facilitators:

Fr. Michael Lapsley, founding member and Director of the IHOM will be the lead facilitator on the course. IHOM facilitators take a participatory approach, emphasising experiential learning. In addition to the full-time tutors, resource specialists from external institutions will conduct sessions on particular topics.
