What if the scars of past generations are etched into our DNA? Discover how epigenetics might explain the transmission of trauma across family lines.

In 2016, researchers at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York released a study that shook the scientific world. They examined the genetic makeup of Holocaust survivors and their children.

The team found specific chemical markers on the genes of the children that matched the trauma responses of their parents. These markers were not part of the DNA sequence itself, but rather how the body reads those genes.

This process is known as epigenetics. It suggests that a person's environment and experiences can leave a physical footprint on their biology.

These changes can influence how we handle stress and anxiety today. It provides a biological look at what many families have called generational burdens for centuries.

Understanding this science offers a path toward healing. It proves that while we may inherit a vulnerability, we also possess the resilience to change our own stories.

The next Kentigern School programme is announced.

The School consists of two residential weekends.

In between participants are expected to follow a series of readings and exercises. Monthly on-line groups give the opportunity for further teaching and spiritual direction. The residential sessions are experiential with individual and group work, spiritual direction, contemplative prayer, silence, movement, discussion, lectio divina and reflection.

The focus of the programme is a deep dive into the key virtues of the contemplative Way, how to ground them in the everyday, and how they help us to face the fierceness of a world in crisis.

The weekend residential sessions for the next course in 2026 are 4pm Friday April 10th to 3pm Sunday April 12th (2 nights) and 4pm Friday October 2nd to 3pm Sunday October 4th (2 nights).

Founded by Rev Prof. Stephen G Wright. Explore the Heartfullness Way of Contemplation through the Kentigern School and the Community (open to those who have attended the Kentigern School)
