Community Peace Village is an upcoming project envisioned as a cottage system for the rehabilitation and reintegration of survivors of violence. This promotes community living, reminiscent of early Indian villages, where people come together as an extended community for the healing of women and children who are getting back on their feet from traumatic events in their lives. A communal way of life with other individuals with similar life experiences can help to facilitate healing on many different levels. To recreate this sense of community, we incorporate various activities within a specially designed living system to ensure recovery from traumatic pasts and holistic psychosocial upliftment.
Activities
- Counseling: Professional support to help residents work through trauma.
- Occupational Therapy: Activities that promote physical and mental well-being.
- Life Skills Education: Training to enhance daily living skills.
- Art Therapy: Including music, dance, and theatre to aid in emotional healing.
- Meditation and Yoga: Providing space for quiet reflection and mental peace.
- Gardening: Engaging residents in nurturing and sustainable practices.
- Skill Development Courses: Preparing residents for employment and self-sufficiency by providing vocational education through community college.
Vision
- Safe Environment: Provide a secure and peaceful setting for women and children survivors of abuse.
- Holistic Recovery: Facilitate comprehensive trauma recovery through diverse activities.
- Trauma Healing Programs: Offer counseling, occupational therapy, life skills education, and art therapy.
- A Platform for Activists: Welcome peace, social, and academic activists to learn and promote community living grounded in Indigenous culture and tradition.
