Healing Spaces: A Sangoma's Wisdom on Trauma-Informed Care
When you do your gatherings and you bring people together, you, like myself, we make safe containers, have a lot of people to be explored, because that's the safest thing you can do, and it has to be safe more and more and more as we move even now through these evolutions like that.
Imagine a place where your deepest fears and traumas are met with understanding and care. In this episode of 'Our New Voice', Madeline Thompson, also known as Groweesha, sits down with a Sangoma in her 60s to discuss the importance of creating safe spaces and trauma-informed care. The Sangoma shares her wisdom and experiences, focusing on the unique challenges faced by those with gender and queer identities who live in a constant state of shock and fear.
This heartfelt conversation dives into the need for secure environments that foster healing and personal growth. Madeline and her guest explore how intergenerational dialogue can build new foundations for family harmony, touching on themes of addiction, relationships, identity, spiritual truth, music, and nature. With compassion and empathy, this episode offers valuable insights into creating spaces where everyone feels safe and supported. Tune in for a moving discussion that reminds us all of the power of understanding and respect.
