Who do you consider part of your village?  In this episode, both Dr. Barbara Holmes and Dr. Donny Bryant helps us make sense of our community wounds and explore the next chapter of Crisis Contemplation, Wounds. Dr. Barbara Holmes explains why unwelcome events are often essential to true transformation: “Wounds are portals. They are entryways to somewhere else within you. Sometimes things happen in your life that make you realize you have allowed a scar to form over something that was festering. It needed to be broken open.”   Have you gone through an unwelcome event that ushered in profound healing? Share your experience with us.   Resources: The transcript for this episode can be found here. If you wish to get a copy of Crisis Contemplation, you can find it in the CAC Bookstore.
