“Humanity is submerged in layers of individual, intergenerational, and collective trauma, but we generally don’t recognize it. This prevents us from addressing the roots of collective challenges we face and keeps us from taking steps toward healing that can transform the systems around us.” A quick but thorough briefing in the types and role of trauma, emphasising its primary role in systems, and asking those of us working on social change to recognise that “only by centering healing practices in the sector’s ways of working can we create the inner spaciousness and external conditions for system transformation to occur.”
