AN EMBODIED DIALOGUE WITH THE INTERNALIZED COLONIZER

We are always in relationship. This is especially true regarding our family and ancestors. They're always with us, and we're always with them. The western-trained mind teaches us otherwise, that we are more separate from one another than what the family and collective soul knows to be true. 


Dismantling structures that were created out of dehumanizing "other" requires expanding capacity for acknowledging the way in which we are in relationship with all that is without clinging to notions of goodness, innocence, judgement, and exclusion. 


More than ever, we need each other: there is one human family. The influence of historical movements of immigration, colonialism, slavery, and war are collective movements that cannot, nor are meant to be, processed by the individual. These histories take place in the context of groups, and they require groups to bring forth healing movements of truth and reconciliation.
