TRUTH & RECONCILIATION WEEKEND, 4-5 JUL 2020
FROM THE INSIDE OUT
Will you join forces this important weekend? To join Consciousness workers, Diversity & Inclusion facilitators and Peace & Justice leaders to heal the split in our personal and collective psyche?
Healing within, allows one to lead. Kindly find our sessions as per these two tracks:
– HEALING: healing our inner schisms and collective trauma
– LEADING: showing the way to peace leadership and ways to create a just and equitable world
We need allies and a safe space to learn, to listen, to find common ground with each other. To understand our conflicts and realise that grief can only be addressed with compassion. To accept that even in our present imperfections we have the power to reconcile with our past towards a hopeful future.
As Viktor Frankl puts it, it is not us asking life, rather it is life itself asking us - What is my purpose?
WHY TRW, WHY NOW?
There is a Moment of Truth that we as individuals, groups and as a species need to confront. We have been at conflict with nature, our own selves and our species since we came into existence.
We have come a long way, but so has our trauma. Change is not an end in itself, it is a process. It begins when one looks within themselves, coming to terms with their own truth.
Reconciliation is a long journey to recovery.
So where do we start?
Who are we? - asks the inquisitive mind.
Who we are - is the integral whole.
What are we doing? - needs a pause to reflect.
Why are we doing this to ourselves and to each other?
Where are we now and where do we go from here?
From such inquiry emerges the Truth & Reconciliation Weekend. This is a humble attempt to start the journey from the ‘inside’ to the ‘outside’.
The partners and facilitators are all here contributing with a pay-by-heart, pay-it-forward model. Most of all, we ask for your time and participation.
The long-term vision is to create and sustain until needed, a global citizens' movement for Truth & Reconciliation across all nations, environments and societies; healing inequities and unfair divides. For it is time for Humanity to step into the New Age of a world that works for all.
HEALING SESSIONS - SAT 4 JULY
