Can We Talk…

A program of the Healing Institute, modeled after the listening series created by the Cory Johnson Program for Post-Traumatic Healing, Can We Talk… is a burgeoning success with our community. It offers a consistent, structured opportunity for our community to receive peer-to-peer encouragement along their journey towards healing.

Staff trained and equipped to facilitate as well as leaders in our community provide creative opportunities of expression to engage a diverse group of active community member participants and meet regularly to discuss the impacts of trauma. Our goal is to engage with each person and to utilize methods of trauma-informed care through storytelling to empower our community for impactful positive change.

Healing Institute

The Healing Institute is a new program designed to deepen our connections within our community and model the style of healing through storytelling with our wider network.

As a part of this initiative, common cathedral is partnering with the Roxbury Presbyterian Church Social Impact Center and host Can We Talk sessions once a month. These sessions have been successful and we are eager to watch the group grow and heal together as a community.

Coming soon will be opportunities for the Healing Institute to host preachers and model preaching with our community that is unique to the common cathedral style. We look forward to being a place of resource connection and sustainment to preachers devoted to unhoused ministry.
