 experiential practice\, participants will learn about the psychological an
 d physiological effects of intergenerational trauma and discover holistic 
 approaches to healing and resilience. This program explores the historical
  trauma experienced by African Americans as a result of the Middle Passage
 \, enslavement\, and the enduring legacy of systemic racism.</p>\n<p><stro
 ng>This program consists of the following components:</strong></p>\n<p><st
 rong>Historical Context:</strong> Participants are provided an overview of
  the Transatlantic Slave Trade\, highlighting the psychological and emotio
 nal toll of forced migration\, enslavement\, and the erasing of much of Af
 rican cultural heritage.</p>\n<p><strong>Intergenerational Trauma:</strong
 > Delving into the concept of intergenerational trauma\, a line is drawn f
 rom the initial trauma of the Middle Passage to the continued experiencing
  of racial injustice and how it is passed down and compounded from generat
 ion to generation.</p>\n<p><strong>Healing Practices:</strong> Participant
 s are introduced to the benefits of deep breathing and the therapeutic
  use of singing bowls and harmonic sound to inspire mindfulness. A discuss
 ion on how these practices can help regulate the nervous system\, reduce s
 tress\, and promote emotional healing gives participants practical stress 
 reducing tools they can use in everyday life.</p>\n<p><strong>Experiential
  Session:</strong> Participants experience a soothing sound bath.</p>\n<ta
