Weaving Wholeness is starting an exciting 10-month project to develop the principles, processes and practices that can empower frontline facilitators of #education. Nadia Chaney (@eternalflux_ ), Madhu Shukla (@maddyzozo ) and Romana Shaikh (@shaikhromana ) are weaving together their realities and expertise as #facilitators, #artists, #storytellers and #educators to create something brave, bold and fun!

We are seeking to explore facilitation from a gender transformation lens and weave a pedagogy of creative arts, storytelling and embodiment for the Indian context.

We’re going to work as a small team for this, and are looking for someone who wants to hold the process with us. The Program and Research Coordinator role will hold together research collection, program operations and partner relations for this project. If you want a place to deep dive into transformative facilitation, this is for you!

To know more, leave us a comment or DM – we’d love to hear from you.🌱

The human nervous system cannot fully distinguish between a vividly imagined experience and a real one. That’s the science behind why role-play and embodied enactment in psychodrama can create genuine neurological and emotional shifts — not just insight, but actual healing.

If that intrigues you, the syllabus of Healing in Action: Trauma-Informed Psychodrama Practices was designed with exactly that in mind.

Some spaces teach us. Some spaces transform us.

I feel deeply fortunate that some people consider me a part of their becoming. It is a privilege I never take lightly, and one I hold with immense gratitude.

Today, however, I wish to offer a glimpse into a space that has quietly become an essential part of my own becoming.

Soul Story Mandala, lovingly facilitated by Sowmya Srinivasan, has been holding monthly online gatherings since 2023.

Each month, Sowmya curates and performs powerful eco-feminine stories that invite us into deeper landscapes of ourselves. They move us, unsettle us, crack us open, and often leave us transformed.

Yesterday evening was one such experience.

Through Martin Shaw’s - Moon Palace - an Inuit tale unfamiliar and largely unexplored by many of us - we were invited into a profound encounter with grief.

Not grief as something to be fixed.

Not grief as something to overcome.

But grief as a sacred transformer.

A force that reshapes us.
A force that strips away what no longer serves.
A force that, if honoured fully, allows us to rise differently.

As the story unfolded, it stirred deep inner churning, reflection, and conversation. It reminded me that some stories do not offer answers. They offer a doorway.

And if we are willing to step through, they change us.

Intense reflections emerged from the story, the space, and the beautiful insights offered by my dear friend Neeta Lalwani and Madhu. Thankyou @rohinimalyala & @ranjeeta_sachdeva for your story reflections 🌱

For sometimes, the stories that shape us most are not the ones we tell, but the ones that quietly tell us who we are becoming. 🌙✨

GratitudePost

I believe gratitude can be expressed on any of the 365 days of the year.
This series of Pinterest-inspired creations is my way of showing deep appreciation to all the mentors who have given me knowledge, belief, wisdom, and grounding throughout my therapeutic journey.
I’m forever grateful for what you’ve taught me and for showing me the path of self-reflection and self-love.
Because of that first step, I am where I am today
