Welcome to Decolonizing the Heart

Decolonizing the Heart is a 2-day Workshop NOW ONLINE

Learn how we learn to feel the way we feel and think the way we think.

Decolonization: “Being guided in critically examining the historical, social, economic and political patterns and systems of power that have been formative in developing one’s own and one’s ancestors’ worldview and working to dismantle and transform one’s way of seeing and being in the world.” © 2019 D.M.L.

Decolonizing the Heart: Deep Learning for Deep Change

So, you’ve done a KAIROS Blanket Exercise, now what?
The Black Lives Matter movement, like Idle No More, is waking people up.
You feel helpless at how messed up the world is, what do you do?
You want to work with people – but they seem so different. Where do you begin?

This is a workshop to address questions like these. Reconciliation requires building relationships; building relationships requires more than coming together over issues; decolonizing our own hearts is necessary so that we can work together for transformation.

We begin by sharing our stories.

We tell stories to make sense of our world. Using geno-graphing, we explore the stories into which we are born - the struggles of our parents, grandparents, great-grandparents and further into our lineage. We strive to understand their lives within an historical, social, economic and political context. We need this grounding so that we can move beyond sympathy into empathy and compassion. With this compassion, we move beyond talking the talk to walking the walk.
