🌿 Embracing our heritage can be a powerful tool for nurturing well-being and fostering a sense of connection and belonging. That's why it's crucial to encourage more young people to explore the link between heritage and well-being. 🌟 🏛️ Heritage offers a window into our past, providing insights into the traditions, values, and stories that shape our identities. By understanding and appreciating our heritage, young people can develop a deeper sense of self-awareness and cultural pride, contributing to enhanced emotional well-being and resilience. 🌍 Furthermore, exploring heritage can create opportunities for young individuals to connect with their communities, build relationships with others, and develop a sense of shared history and purpose. This sense of belonging and connection can have a positive impact on mental health, social cohesion, and overall well-being. 📚 By encouraging young people to learn about their heritage, we empower them to appreciate the richness of their cultural legacy and the importance of preserving it for future generations. Let's inspire the next generation to explore the link between heritage and well-being, fostering a sense of pride, resilience, and unity in our communities. 🌿💫 #HeritageAndWellBeing #CulturalIdentity #YouthEmpowerment

Reimagining Humanity names and illustrates many of the Indigenous/Kinship Worldview precepts, from trust in Spirit to trusting the cycle of life, from respecting diversity to avoiding rigid hierarchy. Learn more about these precepts in the book by Darcia Narvaez and Four Arrows: Restoring Our Kinship Worldview: Indigenous Voices Introduce 28 Precepts For Rebalancing Life On Planet Earth. When the Evolved Nest is provisioned to children and to adults, our full humanity is developed and expressed. Through the Evolved Nest we develop the Kinship Worldview. Reimagining Humanity gives us a taste of the kind of lifeways that nestedness promotes. https://lnkd.in/e_Bk85qs

Connection Friday! Many of our daily activities are planned and measured at the conscious level, Though we are impacted subconsciously by every space, interaction, and thought. Superficially, we can believe we are alone, independent, and in control. But lurking under the surface, there is way more absorbed from our inner and outer environments. The longing for our village lives at the very core of existence. We are hungry for sustenance. Deep connection satisfies in ways that are often incomprehensible to our surface parts. When we are filled from the inside out, we respond to the world differently. With a knowing. Community nourishes open spaces. throughhumaneyes.ca info@throughhumaneyes.ca #throughhumaneyes #visibility #legacy #connectionfridays #legacywednesdays #visibilitymondays #community #connection #communityofcare #compassion #compassionatecare #visibility #storytelling #storytellers #wisdom #elders #weloveourolders #meaning #meaningoflife #love #lovematters #culture #culturalnarrative #impact #livingyourtruth

🌍 Reflecting on Change and Coexistence 🕊️ In a world that's constantly evolving, it's natural to sometimes feel disconnected from the familiar landscapes of our childhood. The sentiment of feeling overwhelmed by rapid societal changes is something many can relate to. However, it's crucial to approach these changes with a mindset of understanding and coexistence. Rioting and conflict are not solutions to our challenges. Instead, embracing the philosophy of "live and let live" can lead us towards more peaceful and productive cohabitation. Let's strive to build communities where diverse perspectives are not just tolerated but valued. 🤝 #Change #Coexistence #CommunityBuilding #PeacefulDialogue

Today, many in our world are celebrating hope and new life eminating from acient stories of their beliefs. I wish everyone hope and new beginnings with life, family, jobs, and business efforts. We could all use a little more hope and more understanding that there is always a new day of peace after a long night of struggle. As we celebrate diverse holidays like Easter, let’s reflect on the universal truths they embody. By sharing these common values in ways that resonate with everyone, we can foster greater understanding and harmony. Let’s embrace the goodness in our differences and strive to uncover and share the best truths of all beliefs, creating a more inclusive and enlightened world together. #diversebeliefs #commontruths #easter #holidays #disruptstatusquo #happyeaster

21 Ways In 21 Day #19 Our National Day is Generations Day. What if we reframed Australia’s National Day to “Generations Day”? On this day we honour the inheritance we've received from the generations before us. We embrace our role as current pivotal generations in shaping Australia and take up our responsibility to hand over the best we have for the generations coming. On ‘Generations Day’ we honour the countless generations of First Nations who were here for as long as there have been humans. We commemorate the losses, pain and hardship that has been carried by previous generations. We acknowledge the hard work from generations that have forged this great country we live in now. We celebrate the changing expressions of our identity and wrestle with the challenges and opportunities in maintaining the core of what is to be Australian. ‘Generations Day’ is a chance to celebrate and make fun of all the stuff that changes through generations and acknowledge all the stuff that stays the same. We can share stories of what it was like growing up in generations past, and what we hope for growing up in generations to come. On Generations Day, we celebrate our collective coming of age as a nation. We are no longer infants on the global stage. We have the oldest living cultures on earth and every living culture on earth calling this land home. We continue to grow and develop our understanding of who we are, where we are from and where we are going. Be encouraged and encourage others. Coming up next: Our National Day is Peoples Day.

***Most Needed; Least Wanted*** What hope is there In a human culture Where what’s most needed Is least wanted And what’s most wanted Is least needed? . Wherein resides the answer To the question Why should I care But can’t? . What is it that prevents me From giving So much Because it’s not wanted? . Wherein resides the difference Between being aware of one’s self In natural neighbourhood And individually or collectively Seeking separate identity Or non-identity . The difference between natural inclusionality And abstract exceptionality But who cares enough to recognize it? https://lnkd.in/eijXnmqc . … On Being An Omnimath No, I am not a polymath Nor am I a monomath Or even an oligomath Let alone a nihilomath . Because I don’t believe In many or one or none or some Fields of human interest As separate from others . But I do recognise a limitless field Within which all others Come into concurrence The field of natural inclusion of each In the others’ presence As where we all belong In receptive-responsive communion . ...

Tensions Between the Origins of #EarthDay and #Indigenous Peoples' Way of Life! Is #EarthDay solely a Western concept, or does it resonate with communities worldwide whose cultures have long embraced practices to protect the planet?
