Virtual Trauma Survivor Movie and Craft Night
Details
## Virtual Movie & Crafting Night: Swiss Army Man
A gentle, creative space for trauma survivors to watch a film together, craft, and connect.
Join us for a virtual community night where we’ll watch Swiss Army Man while crafting and taking intentional pauses to check in with ourselves and each other. This gathering is designed to be choice‑centered, low‑pressure, and supportive for anyone navigating trauma recovery.
### Content & Trigger Warnings
Swiss Army Man includes themes that may be activating for some viewers, including:
- Isolation, hopelessness, and emotional overwhelm
- Suicidality and self‑harm references
- Body‑related imagery and dark humor involving death
- Interpersonal longing, grief, and loneliness
You are welcome to care for yourself in whatever ways feel right. Cameras on or off, stepping away, muting, crafting without watching, or leaving early are all completely okay. You never need to explain your boundaries.
### What the Night Will Look Like
- Craft‑Along Viewing: Bring any craft that feels soothing—drawing, knitting, painting, collage, beadwork, or something simple and repetitive. There’s no expectation to finish anything; the goal is comfort and grounding.
- Two Pause Points: We’ll take two intentional breaks during the movie to check in, breathe, and talk about themes or moments that stood out. Sharing is always optional.
- Closing Reflection Circle: After the movie, we’ll gather for an open conversation about what felt most impactful, meaningful, or resonant. Participants are welcome to share their completed or in‑progress crafts if they’d like.
### Tone & Safety
This space centers gentleness, autonomy, and emotional safety. You’re invited to show up exactly as you are, participate in the ways that feel right, and connect at your own pace.
