Grounding is for the people. It can be a small gesture or a formal practice. We sometimes do it without even realizing. A facilitator sees the symbolism, and every move, expression, and moment. https://lnkd.in/ev4g3pVk #Facilitation #Facilitator #Liberation #Somatic #HoldingSpace #Decolonize

🌍 Thought-provoking insight 🌍 Imagine this: you place 100 black ants alongside 100 red ants into a jar. Surprisingly, nothing happens. However, when the jar is vigorously shaken, chaos ensues as the ants turn on each other. The red ants perceive the black ants as adversaries, while the black ants view the red ants with hostility. This simple #analogy speaks volumes about our own #society. The real culprit behind the #conflict is not the ants themselves, but rather the one shaking the jar. It serves as a powerful reminder that in our #human interactions, before we engage in conflict, we must pause and reflect on the forces that may be #manipulating and #influencing us. Please note : this has nothing to do with current political scenario. Your views Please. #Unity #Interconnectedness #india #ReflectAndUnite #unitedwestand #mindset #election2024

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜'𝗺 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴: "𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲" 𝗯𝘆 𝗩𝗶𝗸𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿-𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿 On my shelf for too long, an argument against the permanence of the digital footprint, about the virtue of erasing our earlier selves, about forgetting the past. As we wrestle with our identities, morality, and online existence, this seems more than relevant! #Delete #viktormayerschonberger #philosophy #digitalcitizenship #DigitalEthics #socialmedia

Cultural equity embodies the values, policies, and practices that ensure that all people—including but not limited to those who have been historically underrepresented based on race/ethnicity, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, socioeconomic status, geography, citizenship status, or religion—are represented in the development of arts policy; the support of artists; the nurturing of accessible, thriving venues for expression; and the fair distribution of programmatic, financial, and informational resources. Cultural equity is critical to the long-term viability of the arts sector. ......Americans For the Arts

the “synthetic Left” is the result of CIA psyops created to give critics of the Right an alternative without going to the actual Left, it reframes the actual Left as “far Left”, and the near-Right as “Left”, while casting the actual Left as radical extremists Liberals use this position to disavow and distance themselves from the indefensible positions of the Right, without taking responsibility for addressing root causes actual Left may be an intuitive position for those with a strong moral compass, but investing the time to understand Class and other concepts and to develop critical thinking skills helps protect us from psyops … and empowers us in freeing others from manipulation https://lnkd.in/gXbMymW7 #syntheticLeft #PsyOps The Synthetic Left: Naomi Klein “Modernists are people who elevate their anti-traditional aesthetic sensibility – expressive individualism, cultural liberation, cultural egalitarianism or basically their rejection of all forms of collective cultural authority – above religion, ethics, ethnic loyalty, etc. In the case of socialism, they prioritize individual aesthetic self-expression above economics, which is why they alienate the working class by taking hyper aggressive positions on polarizing culture war issues like, say, transgenderism. They are people who are more interested in screaming about 'white supremacy' and 'bigotry' and arguing about 'black trans liberation' than in advancing an economic agenda that benefits all working class people."
