 NTED BY ZOË FLOWERS\n\nVicarious Traumatization has been defined as “the n
 atural\, consequent behaviors and emotions resulting from knowledge about 
 a traumatizing event experienced by a significant other” (Figley\, 1995). 
 In other words\, it is the stress resulting from helping or wanting to hel
 p a traumatized or suffering person and the change and/or distortion of an
  advocate’s perception of the world as a result of hearing others’ stories
  of trauma.\n\nThose of us working in social justice\, sexual assault\, do
 mestic violence\, and other movements are well aware of the toll it takes 
 on the body\, mind and spirit. Additionally\, navigating the courts\, crim
 inal justice system and even the medical profession can leave survivors\, 
 advocates and other healing professionals feeling stressed out and revicti
 mized. According to\, Secondary Traumatic Stress Among Domestic Violence A
 dvocates: Workplace Risk and Protective Factors\, 70 percent of domestic v
 iolence advocates met criteria for clinical levels of post-traumatic stres
 s disorder. Survivors and advocates alike need safe spaces to breathe\, de
 -stress and re-orient themselves with their authentic selves.\n\n Zoë Rena
 e Flowers\nZoë Flowers is a filmmaker\, author\, poet\, actress\, Reiki Ma
 ster\, seasoned domestic violence advocate and writer with the Huffington 
 Post. Her poetry and essays can be found in Stand Our Ground\; Poems for T
 rayvon Martin and Marissa Alexander\, Dear Sister: Letters From Survivors 
 of Sexual Assault and several online journals.\n\nLike many young women\, 
 Zoë found herself in a dangerous relationship in her early twenties. She e
 nded the relationship but the experience motivated her to be a catalyst fo
 r change. She worked at several state domestic violence coalitions where s
 he provided training\, technical assistance and domestic violence expertis
 e to local and state domestic violence programs and community partners acr
 oss the country before dedicating her talents to women of color advocates\
 , survivors and their families as the Director of Survivor Programs for th
 e Women of Color Network Inc.\n\nIn 2012\, Zoë launched Soul Requirements 
 to combine her artistic projects\, domestic violence expertise and holisti
 c healing practice. Since then\, she has facilitated individual and group 
 healing sessions to clients across the country and oversees in addition to
  being a holistic healing consultant for the Joyful Heart Foundation. She 
 has worked with the organization since 2012 on a number of projects and wa
 s the lead healer at the trauma center the organization ran after the Newt
 own tragedy. She is also a member of the foundation’s retreat team where s
 he provides Reiki to survivors of domestic and sexual violence.  As a co-c
 reator of SoulShifting Retreats\, Zoë and her Co-maestra Dr. G. Love facil
 itated life-changing retreats to over 30 participants during the 2016 summ
 er and winter solstices in Puerto Lopez\, Ecuador.\n\nIn 2004\, Zoë Flower
 s conducted interviews with women of color about their experiences with do
 mestic and sexual violence. From Ashes To Angel's Dust: A Journey Through 
 Womanhood is the book that emerged from those interviews. ASHES - a Choreo
 Drama that uses monologues\, poems and vignettes to breathe life into the 
 original stories chronicled in Zoë’s book and includes new stories about h
 istorical oppression\, the media\, campus sexual assault\, body image\, an
 d the journey to self-love. ASHES has had many successful performances acr
 oss the country including\; Yale University’s Fearless Conference on April
  9th 2016\, The White House’s United State of Women Summit in Washington\,
  DC on June 15\, 2016\, NCADV’s National Conference: Voices United on Octo
 ber 24\, 2016 and Smith College on April 6\, 2017. \n\nNow\, with more tha
 n sixteen years of experience\, Zoë has worked nationally and internationa
 lly\, has appeared on National Public Radio\, spoken at Yale University\, 
 Springfield College and Smith College on the issues of domestic and sexual
  violence and has now added filmmaking\, producing and directing to her re
 sume. She wrote the screenplay and began filming her 1st movie Rode this s
 ummer. The film is already slated for screening at Smith College and the N
 ewark Music Festival in 2018.\n\nWORKSHOPS\n\nHealing from the Frontlines
 \nPresented by Zoë Flowers\n\nHealing From The Front Lines is designed to 
 provide you with techniques to slow down and reconnect to the your strengt
 h\, inner knowing\, creativity and spirit.\n\nUsing 'Sticks & Stones' as a
   Strategy to Build Prevention Projects\nPresented by: Queery \n\nThe goal
  of this workshop is to use “Sticks and Stones” as a point of reference to
  learn\, build\, and/or enhance localized prevention programs that could b
 e linked to national and global movements\, making change possible with li
 mited resources.\n\nIn this three-part workshop\, participants will be int
 roduced to a primary prevention art-based project created by the presenter
 s called “Sticks and Stones: Reclaiming Names that Were Used to Hurt Us” a
  National Coming Out Day Project.  Participants will learn how this projec
 t started\, the various behind the scene strategies (i.e. technology\, mar
 keting\, and connections) used to make this project possible\, and the lin
 kages used and created from it.\n\nIn the second part of the workshop\, pa
 rticipants will experience the project itself\, which is an interactive di
 scursive art installation accompanied by opportunities to read and share v
 arious experiences.  \n\nIn the third part of the workshop participants wi
 ll be offered the chance to create their own primary prevention programs (
 or enhance ones that are already in place) by using some of the strategies
  discussed in the workshop. The three presenters will assist participants 
 with brainstorming\, connecting\, and making the most of any single projec
 t to maximize the social impact\, thus making change possible with limited
  resources.\n\nClick here to learn more about Queery and 'Sticks & Stones.
