The Myth of Self Care & Strengthening Community Through Conflict with Tad Hargrave
Manage episode 313724815 series 3283358
In this episode we discuss the fallacy of "self" care, and the potential for powerful healing when we get really vulnerable and ask for care from our community rather than trying to do it all alone. We discussed how our need and the vulnerability attached to it contains the gift of bringing people together as a community when we're having a hard time, rather than isolating into "self-reliance," during times of great difficulty or conflict.
For over a decade, Tad has found himself drawn to conversations about how we might tend to the harm that's done in communities in ways that leave the community stronger and more whole at the end - not more shattered.
Tad currently lives in Edmonton, Alberta (traditionally known, in the local indigenous language of the Cree, as Amiskwaciy (Beaver Hill) and later Amiskwaciwaskihegan (Beaver Hill House) and his ancestors come primarily from Scotland with some from the Ukraine as well. He is drawn to conversations around politics, history, ancestry, healing and how those all intersect.
