Constanca Morais: How to Rethink Social Innovation

Movement is My Constant

In this episode my guest is Constança Morais, dancer, teacher, therapist, economist, and founder of Release Embodied Arts. This organisation is shifting the way NGO’s and social innovation organisations design systems for social innovation. Constança shares the importance of working with emotions, specially for organisations who are responsible to change systems, and reorient solutions for humans and the planet. Bringing this work to the forefront of change, Constança hopes change makers and leaders in the field will be better connected to their emotions instead of individual demands.
She reinforces that bringing the human dimension to the work (they do, it creates better connections with the different systems that are parts of human life. Otherwise we keep on doing the same (human) errors.
Constança details the process of expressive therapy, how her workshops are led, and clarifies what trauma is (and isn’t).
This episode my interest you if you are a social entrepreneur, or working in social innovation, looking to rethink systems design from a more human centric approach.
