Hosted by Matthew Green. Produced by J'aime Rothbard. Laura Calderon de la Barca leads us deeper into discovery and exploration of the concept of collective healing as it relates to entire nations. Laura brings us into her personal pilgrimage that led to her realization that much of the shame she felt was inherited from her ancestors. Through her process of deep inner connection with that pain, she was led to a wider stream that merged her personal trauma to the broader collective trauma of colonialism experienced throughout Mexico. Laura shares stories and insights illuminating her journey to integrate and heal from ancestral wounds, emphasizing the importance of self attunement and authenticity. Through her work with indigenous communities and her studies in narrative therapy and fractals, Laura offers a dynamic and expanded view from which we can more comprehensively acknowledge and heal intergenerational and cultural traumas. She describes how collective trauma lives not not only in human bodies, but also geographic ones, and that the best way for us to do this work is together.
