| Transcript: | Transcript by Jayde Stevenson Just got some funding for a project called Growing Resilient Communities, and in that, that project is about bringing people together to learn wellbeing techniques, together with each other, people who have never met each other before. And my brief will be to make sure that half the group will be from, you know, different heritage backgrounds and that, um you know people will just, you know people will meet each other that might not normally meet each other. And what they’re going to learn to do is they’re going to learn to meditate, they’re going to learn to shiatsu each other, they’re going to have… they’re going to do enquiries, which is like a lovely question and answer format and they’re going to do this all together right. So that for me is a form of actimism… activism because what that does is its creating this really safe space where people are doing things that are really nourishing about wellbeing and self-care and care for others, you know for me my activism comes from a place of transformational change, that’s what we call that, where they, you know, people can be impacted by each other just like this project really. The… the… the continuous thread for me really throughout all my work is… is how I work to transform somebody’s heart and mind, that’s how I work, how can I transform? And really their heart, because if you can get through to someone’s heart then… then you’re… we’re on to a winning… winning formula. Notes: For more information about Sandhya’s work, see |
