![Weaving Wholeness is a companion in the inner work of personal transformation for systems transformation.
At the Arts Practices for Inclusion course by @snehadharafoundation, practitioners are trained in #arts as a modality for #inclusion. At the heart of inclusion lies an understanding of how oppression, exclusion and marginalization shows up in the everyday lived experiences of people and remains invisible, unseen, unheard by those with privileged identities.
In examining the assumed and unstated ways of the ‘system’, we can begin to explore what it takes to create belonging and shift systems to truly include, enable foster agency for each and every being.
This is the work of 'Weaving Wholeness'. We are grateful to be part of the API program and are excited to follow the journey this group of practitioners will take as they read the book and reflect on their own inner worlds and outer worlds. 🌱

![After a beautiful virtual launch gathering, Weaving Wholeness is beginning to travel the world.
Weaving Wholeness is on a journey to nurture communities of #LoveandJustice.
Communities where each one and every one can experience a thriving life.
This is the work of intentionally slowing down, turning within and discovering new ways of learning and leading – intergenerationally, intersectorally and interculturally.
Weaving Wholeness is a process of dismantling systems within and recreating ways of being, knowing, doing and relating. In this work, we facilitate healing across generations, shift power and honour the truth of lived narratives.
This June, Romana (@shaikhromana) will be travelling to the UK, Slovenia, Austria and Bengaluru, India.
Bring an Embodied Exploration to your organization or community. We would love to personalize an experience for you.
Connect with Romana to know more about the book and our work. We would love to explore a partnership. 🌱

![How do we receive truth expressed by an-other?
This is what unfolded in Day 2 of The Pause and Breathe Gathering yesterday.
As we continued our journey, Day 2 invited us to move into the relational waters of #reckoning.
It is here that we make place to receive the truth of an-other.
How do we receive truth expressed by an-other?
The Truth can feel difficult but that does not mean it is hurtful. It is firm. It is still. It is transparent. It is authentic. Truth expressed from a place of Love and belief in our shared humanity is the Truth that has the power to create reconciliation.
Reconciliation within – integrating all the parts of ourselves that have been estranged.
Reconciliation with “the other” – embracing their truth, allowing it in, feeling the pain, tending to the rage.
Reconciliation that flows across space and time, that weaves hearts and minds together, that creates a sense of expansion that can hold a collective accountable. Reminding us about our responsibility. Instilling a force of conviction that motivates.
Transmuting rage to Justice
Transmuting grief to Love
Not knowing where to go next from here. Not knowing what to do.
So we simply sit, be with, listen to, witness.
We allow our hearts to open, we allow the flames to rise, we allow ourselves to be moved by Love for an-other, to pursue Justice for every other.
This was Day 2 of The Pause and Breathe Gathering.
Our hearts are filled with gratitude for the journey that Shanaaz Majiet and Suchetha Bhat (@bsuchetha) made possible for us all yesterday.
And for each person that joined, held space and went within.
Today, we will allow for something new to emerge from this stillness. A new purpose, a shared mission, our personal role in nurturing communities of Love and Justice.
Something that moves us together in pursuit of a thriving life for each child, for every child.
Join our journey at #WeavingWholeness. 🌱

![How do you navigate #complexity and sit with inquiries that are too big to answer?
This is what we held space for yesterday.
60 people joined Day 1 of The Pause and Breathe Gathering and, together, we began the difficult work of reckoning.
A reckoning of grief silenced for generations.
A reckoning of systems that continue to oppress and exclude.
A reckoning of the system that sits within each of us.
A reckoning of feeling like ‘the other’.
We touched places within ourselves and offered our stories to each other. Connecting across identities and lands and beginning to recognize the failure of the world we live in. A failure to create a community that honours the diversity of lived experiences and contexts. A failure to build a world of inclusion, of safety, of belonging.
What would it take for us to move through this failure and truly create a new world? To truly be human better? To truly commit to a thriving life for each child, for every child?
Thank you @vishalta for holding a beautiful space with us.
Weaving Wholeness is an invitation to nurture communities of #LoveandJustice.

With less than a week to go before we gather, we at Weaving Wholeness are asking ourselves, “How can we commit to a world that doesn’t exist?” We don’t have the answer, but we know it begins in #community. So we step back to look ahead, and lean into the wisdom of dreamers and truth-tellers, friends and co-travellers, allies and ancestors. And we invite you to journey with us. ✨
Join us at the The Pause and Breathe Gathering with @shaikhromana and our co-hosts Lilitha Buti (@afromation_station), Joanne McEachen (@jojo_mceachen), Shanaaz Majiet, Suchetha Bhat (@bsuchetha), Vishal Talreja (@vishalta) and Zineb Mouhyi (zinebmouhyi) as we weave Wholeness. 🌱

![A brave space.
A bold space.
A space where we will dare to dream about a thriving life.
A space where we will learn new ways to be, to know, to relate.
A space that we are grateful to host with beautiful souls that are brave and bold. ✨
The world starts to change when a group of thoughtful, committed people come together.🌱
We are honoured that Lilitha Buti (@afromation_station) Joanne McEachen (@jojo_mceachen), Shanaaz Majiet, Suchetha Bhat (@bsuchetha), Vishal Talreja (@vishalta) and Zineb Mouhyi (@zinebmouhyi) are co-hosting this space with @shaikhromana. Offering deep listening, expansive presence and insightful inquiries, the space that we know each of them can create is a magic that can only be experienced. We hope you will join us.
In weaving the inner work with the outer work, we can move from personal inquiry to #collective emergence.

![The #climatecrisis is an undeniable, urgent reality — and for many, an existential threat — that is exacerbated by an elite minority and perpetuated by false notions of self-worth.
✦ What causes our disconnection from planetary thriving?
✦ How and why do we uphold ways of life that fuel planetary destruction?
✦ How can we come to view ourselves as custodians of the earth – and not consumers of its "natural resources"?
It's time to confront the #truth of the layers underneath the facts we see, the narratives around the causes and consequences of the #polycrisis and collectively pursue the Truth that can liberate us.
#TruthfulThursdays invites you to engage with the undeniable truth of who we are, why we are here and what our sacred purpose is.
Stay tuned as we unpack the psycho-spiritual polycrisis and rediscover our truth, together.✨

![Systems of #oppression like authoritarianism, capitalism, fundamentalism and patriarchy are rapidly strengthening their grip on humanity, while human and planetary #wellbeing is declining.

It's time to confront the #truth of the layers underneath the facts we see, the narratives of the causes and consequences of the polycrisis and collectively pursue the Truth that can liberate us.
