Return To Life
Mandy Martini Chihuailaf
Most people want change. They want to wake up with more energy. More joy. They want better relationships: with their loved ones, themselves, and this land. They want lives filled with meaning and purpose- not stress and survival.The problem is that most people only get to hear one perspective. One way of understanding things.So then, how can we expect change?My name is Mandy Martini Chihuailaf (Mist spreading over a lake), and I'm a Mapuche writer and teacher. For over 30 years, I've lived between two very different worlds. One that makes up the dominant culture. The other one of my family and people; centered around Indigenous knowledge and our beliefs and worldview.In Return to Life, we'll be drawing comparisons between these two worlds through honest conversations and storytelling. We'll look at how we see human experiences like stress, trauma, and healing, and the way we live and show up in our communities because they are all connected.-Want to ask a question or looking for
