Jar Amok ('Jar' - Urdu for Root; 'Amok' - Hebrew for Deep) is a community-based healing and conflict transformation organization in Washington, DC working towards building deep connection and equity, no matter the barrier or obstacle.

About the Jar Amok Model

Drawn from the ancestral lineages of its founder, Hasan Bhatti, Jar Amok uses anti-oppressive and trauma-informed practices that weaves together disability justice, trauma-informed and conflict transformation best practices to a) meet the liberation needs of the individuals and organizations involved, and b) remains responsive to the ancestral journeys and power levels throughout.

 

Participants learn through process and reflection how they may transform conflicts, harm, and oppression into the internal, interpersonal, communal, city-wide and systemic change needed for the given situation; adding a new ancestral journey, learning, and reflection in the process.
