February 28, 2026/10am to 3pm | Each of us has adverse experiences that shatter our lives. We're familiar with the descent into traumatic stress, and perhaps even PTSD, that can ensue.

However, what's not widely recognized is that for many people, trauma opens a gateway to growth. Research shows that two-thirds of people experience posttraumatic growth after adverse circumstances. By causing us to question our most fundamental assumptions about reality, they can even spark psychological and spiritual evolution - examples include Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and Nelson Mandela.

This makes our suffering meaningful, and can change our view of it from a tragedy to an opportunity.

Join award-winning psychology researcher Dawson Church, PhD, author of Spiritual Intelligence, for a talk and workshop where you'll learn the tools that turn trauma into a gateway for transcendent states of consciousness. Here's what you'll learn:
• Simple self-help techniques that rapidly reduce the emotional impact of traumatic events
• Methods that have been used to help over 20,000 veterans heal from PTSD
• What schoolchildren in Ukraine are being taught to help them cope in the midst of war
• Body-based, non-drug routines that can produce rapid psychological and physical healing
• The research behind reversing neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia
Please join Dawson and discover your gateway to turning trauma to transcendence.
