Trauma-informed yoga is a research proven way to help survivors of trauma and vicarious trauma deal with their trauma symptoms. It is a combination of focused breathing and mindfulness skills, as well as healing poses. Trauma-informed yoga is an opportunity to learn how to work with your own discomforts. It is a judgement free zone where every participant is able to go at their own pace and skill level. The practice is not meant to be a high cardio or strength testing workout, it focuses on grounding, breathing, and mindfulness with comfortable, stretching poses. Our instructor, Liz Jordon, is certified in trauma-informed practice. The instructor does not leave her own mat and will never touch participants to adjust their pose throughout the practice. It is a space where your body is entirely yours. Students, faculty, and staff of all gender identities at all levels of healing after a trauma are welcome and can benefit from trauma-informed yoga.

Some refugees have made the journey to their new lives successfully but still have many underlying concerns that never go away. Each story is different but they all flee to find a better, safer life. Speak with a refugee currently residing in another country and hear their unique story about their personal journey to where they are now.

This event is an opportunity for students, staff, and faculty to learn more about what it means to be a refugee. Often there are perceptions that refugees utilize resources unjustly or that it is easy to enter countries like the United States, but this will be a chance to experience a small sense of a refugee may go through before even being identified as a legal refugee. See what tents in a UNHCR supported refugee camp can look like and go through the journey following one of the many stories of a refugee. From 10am until 4pm, come to Lamberton to see the physical setup! If unable, come to the VR simulation in the basement of FML and go through the story map to see more of the stories from refugees worldwide.

Starting of the week with something simple, this event will be a general info session educating faculty and students on differences between refugees and other groups of displaced people, impacts on the United States, and how they are present in the local Lehigh Valley. There will be various activities that encourage empathy building as well as a few surrounding problem-solving for refugees in the Lehigh Valley. Received assistance from a faculty member from the College of Education that has done research in both the Lehigh Valley and abroad on refugees as well as from our advisor, a professor in sociology and anthropology. In addition to the event, we plan to chalk refugee facts all around campus for students to see and read. There will also be facts placed on small sheets of paper all around campus. If possible, we want lawn signs as well for Refugee Awareness Week events and a few with facts placed around the UC and Memorial Walkway area. We also will be having a week-long raffle with a Bookstore gift card, encouraging people to follow our social media while encouraging donation towards the local refugee resettlement agency, Bethany Christian Services.
