TEDWomen is a TED event curated by TED that focuses on women and women’s issues. TEDxWomen events are TEDx events that follow the live webcast of TEDWomen, and also feature live and local speakers. Our event is called TEDxDelthorneWomen and we are one of the many TEDxWomen events that will happen around the world on December 7th, 2019. We will expand upon the ideas brought up at TEDWomen, while also relating it back to the Women of Los Angeles. TEDxDelthorneWomen was organized by Eraina Ferguson, a tech entrepreneur and journalist. Never miss a talk! SUBSCRIBE to the TEDx channel: http://bit.ly/1FAg8hB In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations).
Joyce Bosen | COO and Founder of Trauma Recovery Yoga
Joyce is a certified yoga teacher who has experienced multiple traumas which have gifted her with a profound empathy and has drawn her to work with marginalized populations. In 2012 after watching her 22-year-old son die, Joyce’s desire to help was turbo-boosted. She began to research her PTSD diagnosis and work with other mind body professionals to create a method that helped relieve her each symptom. After counselors observed her improvement, she was asked to teach this method at the vet center where she herself was receiving talk therapy and quickly found herself very busy teaching at many agencies who needed this style of science-based yoga as a somatic intervention and therapy.
Joyce and her husband Darwin co-founded the not for profit Trauma Recovery Yoga soon after and have since placed trainees of this method in spaces to teach: at-risk youth at multiple schools, traumatic brain injury patients, PTSD vets and over-comers of other traumas such as traumatic grief, sexual assault, and domestic violence. In 2017 Trauma Recovery Yoga was awarded “The Compassionate Cities Award” by the mayor of Las Vegas after the 1 October shooting, for T.R.Y.s offering of free classes in 11 locations across the Las Vegas community for those affected.
In June 2018, Trauma Recovery Yoga traveled to Denver, CO representing the City of Las Vegas where they competed for and won the “All American Cities Award” for their work bringing these self-regulation tools to the at-risk youth in Las Vegas through their “Mindful Movement” program. Trauma Recovery Yoga classes are now taught nationwide. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
