Could t agree more, I am one of those messy soul cosmic weirdos who finally realised the solution lay in emotional intelligence amplification. So I curated and tested a little something I named I.HEAL. Over 30+ years later, the Data is definitely in support.

It is high time for the changemakers, light warriors, healers, philosophers, visionaries, etc. to get a handle on their body-mind-spirit algorithms and be the drivers of tomorrows intention instead of being dragged along for the ride. The time is NOW.

Thanks for this piece (I just landed here from the second part of Rebuilding Sisterhood).

I'm really keen (as in really 😄) on finding out more about what Kosha says. I too have spent quite some time in different 'intentional communities' of different sorts throughout my lifetime and she's touching upon something there that I'd love to hear more about: the point in a group process that she reckons touches the edges of collective trauma in 'visionary'/innovative communities, namely the specific features of those edges (indicators) that make them distinguishable from 'regular Life-cycle processes in groups' according to her experience, observation and insights.

Has she written (talked in depth) anything else about it that could be accessed?

🙏

Excellent piece and important themes. Synchronously, I too have been thinking about these topics. I refer to this in my article https://garysharpe.substack.com/p/trauma-at-the-institutional-level as "Institutional Level Trauma" or "Institutional Trauma" - and I include the news media as one of these institutions! What I see is that trauma, and in particular the various trauma survival styles highlighted by Dr Laurence Heller in his book "Healing Developmental Trauma", get "collected" within the different institutions, which become self-selecting of the corresponding survival style, and amplifies them. Those who make it in who do not have the survival trait are quickly hammered into that shape, or are rapidly forced out again.
