![Meet the facilitators guiding our journey in Leading for Liberation! 🌿
We’re thrilled to be joined by Brandon, a #mentalhealth and well-being advocate and global health policy fellow, and Romana, author of ‘Weaving Wholeness’ and a global #education leader. Together, they’ll be holding space for a journey rooted in shared leadership and intergenerational connection.
Over the course of three 90-minute virtual sessions, beginning this Sunday, we’ll explore practices of #innerleadership and intergenerational exchange, and explore photography as a way to shape and shift our narratives.
We’re keen to grow our circle with more voices across stages of life – if you’re a youth or elder looking to connect with other generations, we’d love for you to join!

![🍃An invitation to pause and breathe🍃
The Pause and Breathe Gathering earlier this year was a three-day virtual journey of reconnection, reckoning and reawakening.
As we settled into Day 1, co-founder of Dream A Dream (@dreamadream_india) and co-host Vishal Talreja (@vishalta) read an excerpt from ‘Weaving Wholeness’ that invites us to reflect on the truth of modern education systems.
Romana Shaikh's (@shaikhromana) first book is an invitation to nurture a world of Love and Justice where each child and every child can thrive. Get your copy at the link in bio – we are shipping globally!

![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. 🌱
