Trauma does not have the final word.The Life Beyond Trauma Conference offers a safe, faith-filled space to explore how healing and transformation restore identity, value, purpose, and destiny.
Catch the Fire Auckland is honoured to host Sandra Sellmer-Kersten, who will guide each session with compassionate and practical teaching.
You’ll gain a clear understanding of what trauma is in its many forms and degrees, and how unresolved pain can affect us spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Sandra will unpack why people get “stuck” in trauma responses—how those patterns become practiced ways of coping as well as recognising triggers, overcoming chaos, and identifying the ways we have tried to medicate, avoid, or deny our pain.
Across the 2 days, you will experience teaching moments, paired with compassionate and gentle care, times of worship, soaking, and reflection, all designed to create space for God’s presence to minister deeply. Corporate and prophetic ministry will be offered, and there will be opportunities for one-on-one altar prayer with the trained team.
Finally, you’ll be equipped to carry this healing into everyday life and community—preparing your heart for revival, and stepping confidently into what we believe is a primary mission field of the 21st century.
A comprehensive workbook, available for purchase, includes additional enrichments, prayers, and activations to support your journey beyond the conference.
Register now—places are limited.
