Collective Traumas & Events

Name: Minds On Design Lab Inc.
Price range: $

Large-scale events—such as natural disasters, mass violence, pandemics, political unrest, and other collective crises—can disrupt our lives in profound ways. Sometimes these experiences happen to us directly; other times, we feel their impact through the people around us or the media we consume. This page offers a supportive space to learn, process, and begin connecting around these shared challenges. You’ll find engaging events and resources, along with introductions to community contributors who bring lived experience and caring perspectives. However collective traumas and events touch your life, you're welcome to begin here.

Not every loss begins with a death

Blog

The Conversations track is eight sessions on the losses that never had a funeral. Bereavement, relationship loss, caregiving, aging, political grief, identity and regret. You do not have to talk, and you do not have to decide whether yours counts.

When Grief Becomes the Gateway: A Candlelight Vigil for a Breaking World

Blog

Some pain is too big to hold alone. We came together with healers, artists, and activists to grieve what needs grieving, to sit with one another in the dark, and to ask a single question: How can our grief and pain become a source of power and love?

Let’s Learn: Caregiving Across Cultures

Video

To kick off the Cultivating Caregiving series, join a conversation with a group of caregivers and leaders who share personal stories of grief and growth and traverse the current landscape of care, particularly for underrepresented communities.
