Trauma touches all of us. Healing belongs to all of us. Join Dr. James S. Gordon, a world-renowned psychiatrist, healer, and pioneer in integrative trauma recovery, for a powerful conversation on what it truly means to transform trauma into hope.

Based on five decades of groundbreaking work, Gordon’s book “Transforming Trauma: The Path to Hope and Healing” introduces a field-tested, step-by-step program designed to reverse the psychological and biological damage caused by trauma. Drawing from his experience working in war zones, disaster-stricken regions, schools, and underserved communities, Gordon offers more than theory; he offers a way forward. 

EVENT DETAILS: 

• Remarks and Q&A, in-person and via Zoom. 

• 5:30 p.m. complimentary hors d'oeuvres and cash bar; 6–7 p.m. program and book signing. 

• Zoom only: $10. In-person: members: $20, nonmembers: $25 plus tax.

Gordon’s book, “Transforming Trauma: The Path to Hope and Healing,” will be available for purchase at the event.

Gordon, a Harvard-educated psychiatrist, is the founder and CEO of the nonprofit Center for Mind-Body Medicine in Washington, D.C. He is internationally recognized for using self-awareness, self-care, and group support to heal population-wide psychological trauma. He is a clinical professor at Georgetown University School of Medicine and was chairman, under Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, of the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy.
