Collective Trauma And Human Suffering: Energizing Systemic Change Through Collective Healing Action

Collective Trauma and Human Suffering: Energizing Systemic Change through Collective Healing Action provides readers with a compassionate and research-based framework in an increasingly fragmented world. The text recognizes how the uprising of colonization and industrialized civilizations has ravaged foundational and socio-cultural knowledge of being human in favor of political, military, and materialistic needs for control and supremacy. This book presents a model that demonstrates a recognition towards intercultural community resilience while integrating deep-seated trauma through collective healing action and hope. The text recalls wisdom and knowledge of earlier world cultures sustaining human wellbeing. It uncovers the ways in which systemic racism, natural and manmade disasters, mass trauma, agricultural development, slavery, control of resources, and the evolution from village to global has created fragmentation within our modern culture. Today, over half of the world's children do not have access to healthy development. Readers learn how the reclamation of interconnectedness, cultures, languages, and rituals can restore our systems, prioritizing heart, humanity, and nature. The model infuses greater levels of human acceptance, compassion, communication, and love into the systems raising the future, our children.
