Great insights into collective healing here, Matthew - I do get the sense that you’re on a path to breaking through. I find myself thinking what if the UN sponsored these kinds of facilitated processes for countries in conflict? What if we had a kind of collective healing olympiad? Would love to hear Wm. Ury’s take on that, based on his experience in negotiating the most intractable conflicts.

thank you Zhiwa! I agree, seems so much potential to apply this kind of work in many different contexts. One day it could be seen as basic to human well-being as proper sanitation (also revolutionary in its day).

Appreciate hearing your experiences, Matthew—it makes it real.

I'm finishing up a journey to the lands of my ancestors (Ireland and Scotland)—have been deeply moved by the layers of trauma palpable in certain places, especially around the Great Famine.

Fascinating to hear about your journey -- would be interested to hear more about the resonance you found in Ireland and Scotland.
