“Trauma is at the root of our inaction. To understand this, we must first examine how imbalance affects living systems – within our bodies and the earth itself.” Thomas Hübl

We are often unknowingly trapped in narratives we didn’t even choose - stories inherited from the systems to which we belong: our family of origin, our community, our place of work, and even from our ancestors. 

The nature of our belonging to these systems influences our actions, often sub-consciously – and not always helpfully. The stories we tell ourselves can serve to make us resistant to change, thus preventing us from tackling the problems we face.

To thrive through this time of planetary crisis we need to weave new narratives, new stories of who we are and how we fit into this planet we call home. We can do this though better understanding what lies behind our beliefs and opinions, and then helping others to do the same. The image of Jelly Ear fungus on this page represents the deep listening - both verbal and somatic - which is fundamental to this work.

By tuning in at a deeper level we can reveal hidden dynamics – bringing to light the truths which our bodies know but which our minds have refused to acknowledge. It is only once we have seen how the parts of a system truly inter-relate that we can work to restore balance in the system.
