In such a situation, how can we move towards healing the deep emotional/psychological/social/environmental/systematic/political wounds and traumas which we all face? On this episode of the Contemplative Creative podcast, host David Quiring discusses this prevalent problem, and how we might be a part of the solution. We can never escape the bias within ourselves, but we can acknowledge it and adjust our conduct accordingly knowing that it’s there.
