About the Catalyst Initiative of The Minneapolis Foundation:
Catalyst is a field of interest fund of The Minneapolis Foundation designed to build integrative health and healing in Minnesota.

Our Purpose: To honor and foster culturally authentic self-care practices to advance health and well-being. Catalyst taps into our innate power to heal and be well through two primary approaches: Self-care as primary care and culturally meaningful trauma healing practices.

About Marnita’s Table:
Marnita’s Table seeks to measurably increase social capital across race, class, culture, gender and other means of self-identity in order to catalyze transformational change where racial and cultural differences are not viewed as deficits or merely tolerated, but instead viewed as assets. Experts at social capital building, over the past fourteen years we’ve welcomed nearly 50,000 people from around the world and the around the way to find common ground while breaking bread.

About Healing from Trauma:
The Marnita’s Table model of Intentional Social Interaction is an inclusive forum to exchange ideas and build relationships across age, ethnicity and other means of self-identity in order to catalyze positive action toward building community resilience.

Originally designed and developed in 2015 through collaborative and participatory constituent input in partnership with the Catalyst Initiative, this dialogue series, now in its 11th session, focuses on the emergent, community-driven development of actionable ideas about how to improve health outcomes and opportunities to explore the latest research on mind/body techniques in a collaborative and collegial environment.

With so many members of our communities currently grappling with historic and secondary trauma, this event is a timely prevention and healing strategy that recognizes the need for healing in the context of communal support and collaboration. In our work across the state, Healing from Trauma emerges as our most-requested dialogue, so to deepen and expand the experience, we have added new practitioners and sessions to speak to the needs emerging directly from community members and healthcare practitioners across the Greater Twin Cities and elsewhere in Minnesota.

Healing from Trauma recognizes that healing and building resilience in any community requires many stakeholders who willingly work together at all levels of decision-making impact.

We look forward to welcoming you. If you have any questions you may call Marnita’s Table at 612.928.7744.
