Be a part of the Justice as Trauma Summit 2026 | Call for Speakers and Healers

At Justice as Trauma 2025, one word stood out: Hope. Participants found a space of genuine hope amid pain and injustice, fueling resilience and change. Inspired by this, Justice as Trauma 2026 will focus on “Radical Hope” as a response and practice. We especially encourage 2SQTBIPOC to apply though applications from all individuals are welcome. Ideal candidates have practices rooted in anti-oppression values and experience providing support, advocacy, or services, such as but not limited to: legal and justice professionals, organizational leaders, neuroscience experts, administrators, therapists, educators, Indigenous Knowledge Keepers, wellness practitioners, activists and advocates, etc.

We welcome proposals for sessions, including presentations, workshops, panels, or interactive formats that highlight the intersection of trauma and hope in justice, leadership, or legal settings. Share insights or stories of resilience and healing in communities facing systemic oppression, and showcase trauma-informed, culturally responsive approaches inspired by radical hope.

We also invite healers, somatic practitioners, bodyworkers, and spiritual guides whose work fosters hope and resilience through somatic, spiritual, ancestral, or community-based practices. Show how your approach supports recovery, collective healing, and reconnection with body, land, and community, drawing from Indigenous or ancestral traditions and actively challenging systems of oppression.
