Fore-fronting Art X Science: Trauma-Focused Practice with Laura Fischer #changemakers

Onions Talk: Change making through social engagement

“I never felt ever that there was a path just right for me... We need more people that create paths because the current paths are not good enough.”

This episode is about not being afraid to cross disciplines and boundaries. There are many opportunities that exist when we create a path across domains.

Key points in this episode:

• Creative embodied process of co-creating healing
• Trauma and the need to reconnect with the body in order to heal
• Paving new paths and connecting with supporters of your mission
• Believing in yourself when fore-fronting a new vision to bring a value into this world that has yet to be recognised
• Trauma survivors are immensely powerful and resourceful. Protecting people from violence and abuse and supporting people to survive and live past trauma is everyone’s responsibility.
• Collective trauma, social political events and individual narratives
