Healing of Personal and Generational Trauma – a Gift for Future Generations

Jim Cogley

We are delighted to welcome Jim Cogley and Luba Rodzhuk back to the Tara Centre focussing on the healing of trauma both personal and generational. The past continues to influence the present; our inner work is directly linked to the wellbeing of future generations. Over the course of the one and a half days, Jim will explore in his own unique and insightful way the issues of which we may not be fully aware but which inhibit personal healing, with a view to finding healing and integration for a more fulfilling future – not only our own, but also for generations to come.

Jim is a psychotherapist and wood-turner with over thirty years’ experience in the field of healing, both personal and intergenerational. His innovative self-taught woodworking skills provide a unique opportunity to present the age-old truths of life and spirituality in the form of wooden symbols that speak to the soul. Jim’s focus is on “getting the past out of the present” in order to lead a fuller, freer and more fulfilled life. He offers a much needed wisdom for the spiritual landscape we find ourselves in at this time.

Regarded as an inspirational speaker Jim is constantly in demand for seminars, retreats and conferences. He is the author of several books and inspirational cards in the Wood You Believe Series including: ‘The Unfolding Self’, ‘The Ancestral Self’, ‘The Twinless Self’ and ‘The Spiritual Self.’ He has also published The Grieving Self, Volume 8, an outstanding contribution to our understanding of grief recovery. Books are for sale at the Tara Centre and during the event.

This is a truth that is important to understand: what we evade we can never ultimately avoid. It is not by moving away from but towards that which seems so unpleasant that we find peace and healing.
-Jim Cogley
