Please join Laura Khoudari '00 in a thoughtful discussion of her book "Lifting Heavy Things: Healing Trauma One Rep at a Time," with Ju Hong, director of Be Well. In this innovative title, trauma-informed strength trainer and wellness coach Khoudari brings a fresh approach to healing after trauma— using strength training as an embodied movement practice. Compassionate, witty and fastidiously researched, Khoudari’s debut, "Lifting Heavy Things," is a breakthrough title that empowers and inspires readers to develop resilience and build emotional and physical strength through lifting weights while mindful of the ways that trauma can compromise the well-being of the mind and body.
Dinner will precede the book talk.
The event is FREE and open to students, faculty, and staff.
