In this episode I discuss how radicalized trauma shows up for white people and the insecure attachment they project on people of color. Sources from this episode include Dare Sohei, Tada Hozumi, Resmaa Menakem, Janet Helms, and Thomas Hubul. To learn more about this topic, visit our website at cypressandoak.org. There I have created an online, self-paced course that goes deeper into these topics to heal, repair, and recover from white superiority. As always, I'm rooting for yours and mine's liberation.

In this first episode I invite listeners to engage in practices related to resiliency and courage. Though we've earnestly tried to solve social problems with mental training, workshops, and education, there is still a disconnect between what we say we value and believe and what we embody. Implicit knowledge is held in the body and felt through constriction or expansion, pain or ease, energy or numbness, lightness of openness. Listeners can renew themselves to their commitments by anchoring in courage and placing non harming at the forefront of their awareness.

The World We Want is conversation between Whitney and listeners about cultivating the world we want through examining our bodies and minds for healing and collective transformation. Throughout the first season, we’ll be diving into topics like how our nervous systems operate, unconscious self protective strategies, stamina for social justice, centering accountability, and fostering belonging. Together through our practice we will bridge the divide between what we say we believe, what we embody, and what we it will take to create the world we want.
