This is Dr. Ani Kalayjian's "Message to the World — Transforming Humiliation Through Meaningful World Mindful Actions" that she recorded on December 8, 2020, for the 17th Workshop on Transforming Humiliation and Violent Conflict at Columbia University in New York City, December 10 – 12, 2020. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, this conference had to take place online. Her message was shared on Day Three of the workshop, see https://youtu.be/ekq5_8QGIB8 .

Dr. Kalayjian kindly wrote in her registration for this workshop on November 1, 2020:
I am Ani Kalayjian, a student of humiliation prevention around the world volunteering in 48 countries and 26 states in USA. I have experienced many traumas individually, generationally, and collectively, & have committed my life to healing those traumatized, and those working with traumatized populations to regain their integrity. 

Dignity is nurtured through Emotional and Spiritual Intelligence; through learning to cultivate our positive emotions and transforming the negative ones, and through spiritually grounding ourselves to embrace Mother Earth and humanity at large fully and unconditionally.  

We run free weekly support groups Thursdays at noon EST,  I am extremely sad and exhausted about the war in Armenia from Azerbaijan and Turkey (over 100 million against 3million), since 27 Sept. Trauma passes on to 14 generations through DNA, let's raise consciousness on this and stop violence.
