“When you take care of yourself, you teach others how to treat you.” — Rupi Kaur

Over the course of two hours, a safe space will be created where participants can pause, listen to themselves, and truly acknowledge their own presence—not out of the pressure to “do more,” but rather through the opportunity to return to themselves with greater awareness and kindness. We will focus on active listening, presence, and sharing in small groups, allowing each person an authentic space to express themselves and be heard without judgment. Through guided exercises, moments of bodily connection, and meaningful conversations, a process of reconnecting with one’s own emotional and personal needs is facilitated. This space does not seek to teach formulas for self-care, but rather to open up an experience in which each participant can recognize what they need today—and how to begin supporting themselves with greater clarity and care in their daily lives.

[Spanish]

“Cuando te cuidas, le enseñas a otros cómo tratarte.” Rupi Kaur

A lo largo de dos horas, se creará un espacio seguro donde los participantes podrán detenerse, escucharse y reconocerse, no desde la exigencia de “hacer más”, sino desde la posibilidad de volver a sí mismos con mayor conciencia y amabilidad. Nos enfocaremos en la escucha activa, la presencia y el compartir en pequeños grupos, permitiendo que cada persona tenga un espacio auténtico para expresarse y ser escuchada sin juicio. A través de dinámicas guiadas, momentos de conexión corporal y conversaciones significativas, se facilita un proceso de reconexión con las propias necesidades emocionales y personales.Este espacio no busca enseñar fórmulas de autocuidado, sino abrir una experiencia donde cada participante pueda reconocer qué necesita hoy y cómo empezar a sostenerse con mayor claridad y cuidado en su vida cotidiana.

The first session of VIDA was a beautiful moment. 🥹 Thank you for being our home. 🏠

I am grateful for everyone who has offered their medicine into shaping this w/us and even more, deeply humbled by the youth who answered the call & trusted us enough to step into this space. Grateful for all the community partners, the relationships & beautiful connections that have believed in me, in us, in this vision n those who continue to entrust us with their young people.

How sacred to witness young people share their stories n honoring the journeys that brought them to this moment. It was beautiful to watch them connect across languages, genders, cultures - the imaginary divides that so often separate us. Ready to watch them unfold.

I am especially grateful to my brother, Ariel .ariel11 for trusting me to hold this seed alongside him—to nurture it, protect it n help it grow. What a blessing to be here w/you after 2 years of finding ourselves in the same circles, returning to the same conversations n dreams n realizing we both were connected to my folks shortly after landing with them. So grateful to build Healing Together Turtle Island with you, bro.

It was never coincidence. “When it’s divine, it will align.” & here we are. We have arrived.

The work of healing is more than individual wellness or catchy internet quotes. Healing justice is the foundation we need to build our movements on to create sustainable systems of collective power centered on discernment, clarity, and care. How do you center healing in your organizing and movement building?

[Slide 1 of 10:
Green background with elephants in a line at the bottom. Yellow box with dark purple font and blue font bordered in orange.
Why is Healing Justice Essential to Movement Building?

Slide 2 of 10:
Green background with elephants in a line at the bottom. Yellow box with dark purple and grey font bordered in orange.
Have you noticed this pattern before?
A movement sparks in response to injustice
Folks organize to fight for justice and liberation
Eventually, conflict happens among the organizers
Leading to collective rupture and harm
The group implodes and the movement fizzles out

Slide 3 of 10:
Green background with elephants in a line at the bottom. Yellow box with dark purple and grey font bordered in orange.
Western Approaches to Liberation fail to free us
They center outside in change: We dismantle the systems to liberate the people.
And yet: untended trauma travels with us.

Slide 4 of 10:
Green background with elephants in a line at the bottom. Yellow box with dark purple and grey font bordered in orange.
What we don’t heal, we pass on.
In movements, this can look like:
Conflict escalating into harm
Racialized harm & violence
Gendered & sexual violence
Martyrdom & crisis culture fueling reactivity, burnout & illness
Silencing, gas-lighting, & victim blaming
Disposability over accountability

Slide 5 of 10:
Green background with elephants in a line at the bottom. Yellow box with dark purple and grey font bordered in orange.
Healing Justice tends to the root
It understands that systems of oppression are internalized, impacting our bodies, our relationships, and our culture.
And untended wounds
replicate patterns of harm.
*Healing Justice is a political framework articulated by Cara Page and the Kindred Southern Healing Justice Collective.

Slide 6 of 10:
Green background with elephants in a line at the bottom. Yellow box with dark purple and grey font bordered in orange.
Liberation must tend to the wounds left behind
When we start to heal,
we respond to the world with
Discernment, Clarity & Care
without replicating
the very patterns
we’re working to dismantle.

Slide 7 of 10:
Green background with elephants in a line at the bottom. Yellow box with dark purple and grey font bordered in orange.
Healing Justice cultivates sustainable movements
It builds our capacity to:
Tend to our wounds
Disrupt cycles of harm
Build power rooted in care

Slide 8 of 10:
Green background with elephants in a line at the bottom. Yellow box with dark purple and grey font bordered in orange.
Healing creates a ripple effect from the inside out
Image of concentric circles in purple, pink, and orange from the outside in
Words in each circle as follows:
Purple: Systems
Pink: Communities
Orange: Individuals
This is how systems change.

Slide 9 of 10:
Green background with elephants in a line at the bottom. Yellow box with dark purple and grey font bordered in orange.
This is just the beginning.
Our next posts will explore Transformative Justice and its role in building power for liberation.
*Mariame Kaba defines Transformative Justice as a framework focused on community-building and collective solidarity against the carceral state.

Slide 10 of 10:
Magenta box over a yellow background.
Unhealed trauma fuels fear, hate, violence, oppression, and injustice.
We're working to change that.
We are a global alliance of local organizers working to prevent, disrupt, and heal generational cycles of trauma and violence, and build collective power.

In schools, every interaction between a teacher and a child has the potential to either reinforce stress or promote healing. So, it's important that school leaders understand the impacts of trauma in children, prioritize connection over control and create spaces where young learners feel seen and valued.

Healing Together Nepal's "Trauma-Informed Schools" workshop in Khotang, Nepal aimed at promoting the trauma informed and child participatory approach to education. Over the course of two days last week, school principals from the district developed their understanding of the subject, reflected on current practices and ideated around creating environments grounded in safety, connection and belonging in their schools.

We are grateful to the workshop attendees for being open to new knowledge and hope their learnings ripple outward to the school staff, students, families and the wider community. Let's make trauma informed teaching the norm!

The text in the paper reads: "Social effects of trauma: 1) Over-consumption of intoxicating substances 2) Not listening to others 3) Preferring solitude 4) Social discrimination

"Hope is the only good common to all human beings; those who have lost everything still possess it." – Thales of Miletus

In this circle, we will have the opportunity to reflect on what gives us hope and why it is important to embrace it during these times of collective instability. Speaking about hope will not only help us sustain a sense of gratitude in the face of adversity, but will also grant us the strength needed to persevere until we achieve what we yearn for. Join us for this session to collectively reinforce the power of hope.

This past week, Healing Together Nepal was joined by grad-students at Counselling Psychology and Social Studies College in Kathmandu, Nepal for a Trauma-Healing (Level 1) workshop. After the workshop, our facilitator shared:

"It was truly an inspiring and enriching experience for all of us. From deep reflections to meaningful conversations, the space we created together was filled with openness, courage, and learning. Seeing young minds engage so thoughtfully with trauma and healing gives us hope for a more compassionate future. 💙"

We are grateful to the participants as well as our team for making this happen. Seeing young people become truly a joyous moment for us.

As Healing Together Uganda wraps up another training of community leaders to help them become , our team is deeply moved by how our participants respond to one of the post-training questions: If everyone in the world got access to such a training, what would change? 90% of the participants share that the world would have more peace and less violence.

While the belief in being able to create such a world fuels our efforts every day, we also realize the powerful lesson the response offers. That for communities and countries to feel truly at peace, it is important for individuals to achieve peace within themselves, which is possible only when they get enough support for their mental wellness.

Here's to breaking the generational cycles of trauma and protecting people from harm! 🌱

The facilitator appears to be speaking to the participants.
