Thank you for making 2023 possible đ
We are looking forward to contribute to a better world together with you during 2024!
A lot has been done, and for this we are grateful. We could not have done it without you - as said in Kinyarwanda : Turikumwe, we are together!
Our vision is to reach as many as possible in troubled parts of this world, giving them the tools and skills to resolve trauma, to find inner peace for themselves and to pass it on. This is achieved one person at a time and in many different ways; A single workshop can change many lives!
All a workshop needs to happen is some donations like yours providing transport, food, water and some learning materials. And somebody like pastor John who will do it. Turikumwe.
In Chesterfield County Jail where Kerri Rhodes leads tapping circles where inmates TikTok posts reach over 1 million views. This program resulted in part thanks to our monthly TTT mentoring meetings, and the bold initiative of somebody like Kerri, offering to spread it to some of the most vulnerable populations.
Our study with DR Peta Stapleton shows that the simple certification process of TTT is enough to provide significant changes. If you are bot certified yet, learn it now and be able to help yourself and those around you with what may be the safest First Aid for trauma in the world.
In our work using TTT and Havening for addiction recovery we have seen remarkable results when resolving underlying trauma. Our colleague, psychologist Stefan Sandström keeps telling us âstop saying it is First Aid, when it often actually cures traumaâ. Every social worker attending these trainings is a new ambassador for this potential.
Keep sharing:
It makes us happy to see how many learn and share Tapping and Havening through events like 24hours of tapping, our monthly mentoring webinars, live workshops in many countries, scientific studies with Dr Peta Stapleton and Kirsty Hodgson, the TTT book in English and French (both available also as audio), the updated Self Help for Trauma app, the videos on Youtube.
Thank you for being part of this movement for Inner Peace! This is how we all can contribute to more Peace in the world. For every person who learns and uses these techniques means one more who can balance and regulate her/his emotional state. The more calm the less conflict. Keep Tapping and Havening. Find Calm and Pass it on. Here are some images from 2023.
