This region of East Yorkshire has been settled since ancient times, something which was proven during the 19th Century with the discovery of Iron Age burials which told us a great deal about the people who once lived here.
This tribe was given the name of the 'Arras' tribe by archaeologists, with their burial practices distinctive from the neighbouring tribes of the Parisi and Briganti pre-Roman Britons and having commonalities with those found in Celtic Gaul and mainland Europe. 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 health, wellness and trauma integration which 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 ourselves that have gone unseen, unknown and unloved.
Just as the Arras burials were unseen, unknown and unloved for thousands of years โ until they were rediscovered and brought back to the light again.
The Battle of Arras was a key battle during the First World War, taking place in , but it is not as well known today as the household names of the Somme, Passchendaele and Verdun. In Canada, the battle is well-known for its links to Vimy Ridge pictured left , where Canadian and Allied divisions captured the well-fortified German position of Vimy and held it for the rest of the war.
