The hidden influence of collective trauma
Permacrisis has been named the 'word of the year for 2022' by Collins Dictionary.
Are your surprised? It's been a time of crisis after crisis, each one piling in after the last.
Floods. Mass shootings. Earthquakes. Political upheavals. Pandemics. Cost of living pressures.
These events show up in our lives and create pain - so-called 'collective trauma'.
If we're lucky, the pain is short-lived and we move on.
But often the trauma lives on in us. Unprocessed and unresolved. It continues to influence us as individuals and as a society long after the news cycle has moved on.

If deeper and more meaningful work through harnessing the hidden power of healing our collective trauma lights your fire, buckle in for this kōrero with Louise. The opportunities for healing are all around us.
