The Story of Arras Healing

Arras is an area of the Yorkshire Wolds, famous for its stunning hills, along the A1079 road that goes from Beverley and Hull to York. This region of East Yorkshire has been settled since very ancient times, something which was proven during the 19th Century with the discovery of Iron Age and Bronze Age burials telling us a great deal about the people who once lived here. These people were given the name of the 'Arras Culture' by archaeologists, with their burial practices distinctive from the neighbouring tribes of the Briganti (pre-Roman Britons) and having commonalities with those found in Celtic Gaul and mainland Europe. The Arras Culture encompassed the Parisi tribal peoples of the Yorkshire Wolds, famous for their horsemanship, chariot burials, iron-working and artistry.
 

Using the name 'Arras' we are honouring the land around us and the ancestors who once roamed here as custodians of these hills, valleys, fields and streams. Just like the Arras people were different and unique from the tribes surrounding them, Arras Healing takes a different and unique approach to collective healing and trauma education that is difficult to find anywhere else. 

By working with nature, the land around us, and a sense of our heritage and roots (no matter where we are), this can support us to mend the parts of us that have gone unseen, unknown and unloved. Just as the Arras burials were unseen, unknown and unloved for thousands of years – until they were rediscovered and brought back to the light again.
