Jennifer Elam has been a psychologist, teacher, artist and writer since her college graduation in 1973. She followed a leading in 1995 to attend a Pendle Hill internship and wound up participating there for the next 25 years. Jennifer now leads a workshop called “Mediating Trauma through Creative Expression”, with her co-leader and clinical music therapist, Gloria Stearns-Bruner, of Bloomington Friends Meeting, IN.
Their workshop uses writing, movement, and music, where participants share their stories of trauma, challenge or grief, as it is now and as they re-vision it. "Trauma is a story that has gotten stuck and forgotten how to dance. We have to teach it to move again." In our Quarterly Meeting program Jennifer will review the theoretical framework of trauma psychology and how her workshop facilitates healing. Jennifer is a sojourning member of Swarthmore Meeting.
For Children & Youth: All ages are welcome and encouraged to join the online meeting for worship or attend at Westtown Meeting in person at 10:00am, which will begin with an intergenerational sharing of the Godly Play story the Parable of the Good Samaritan. In place of an online Quarterly Meeting program for children and youth, meetings are encouraged to explore the themes of caring for one another and being good neighbors in their programs for young people during the weeks before and on January 22. Materials focused on these themes are being collected and shared among the Religious Education contacts in meetings to use in their programs or share with families for home. The CQM Coordinator will collect and share artwork or projects created by children and youth programs with Friends in the Quarter.
