Key Reflections on Healing
👉 Healing asks us to become mindful of the way we show up for others. It’s about relating in ways that use ‘power to empower’, rather than perpetuating paradigms of heroes and helplessness.
👉 Healing requires stepping off pedestals—both the ones we place ourselves on and the ones we place others upon.
👉 True belonging starts when we stand together on common ground, embracing the chaos of this world as a shared experience.
