The hidden influence of collective trauma

Permacrisis has been named the 'word of the year for 2022' by Collins Dictionary.

Are your surprised? It's been a time of crisis after crisis, each one piling in after the last.

Floods. Mass shootings. Earthquakes. Political upheavals. Pandemics. Cost of living pressures.

These events show up in our lives and create pain - so-called 'collective trauma'.

If we're lucky, the pain is short-lived and we move on.

But often the trauma lives on in us. Unprocessed and unresolved. It continues to influence us as individuals and as a society long after the news cycle has moved on.

Introducing Louise Marra

On today’s podcast, we dive into the topic of collective trauma with guest Louise Marra.

If you're skeptical about the relevance of trauma to your work, that's normal.

But Louise encourages us to create space for healing our collective trauma no matter what work you're involved in. And she shares some simple tips for giving this a go in a way that won't make people run for the hills.

If deeper and more meaningful work through harnessing the hidden power of healing our collective trauma lights your fire, buckle in for this kōrero with Louise. The opportunities for healing are all around us.

Content warning - we talk about death in this episode

This episode includes a discussion about death. We put an optimistic and empowering lens on its role in our work lives. But if that's not something you feel like jumping into today, this might not be the episode for you.

Introducing Holly Bennett

Today we cast our thoughts back to Ep 17 with Holly Bennett, all about the unexpected path into political lobbying.

Particularly, we hear Holly's answers to these questions; 

Advocacy in government is essential, and Holly shares some wonderful insights on why she chose to go against the grain and how you can too.

Introducing Aimee Gasparetto and Tammy Mudge

The future work-scape is collaborative, sustainable, humanitarian, and local. Are you ready to participate in this new economy? 

For Every One, Every Day - an organisation in Halifax, Canada - the participatory cities approach feels like second nature. Nurturing community, particularly in respect of Halifax's prominent Indigenous people, is what Aimee and Tammy strive for in their work every day. 

"What if you could build a system of participation that could extend across cities and connect neighbourhoods?" This question fuels our discussion, which dives deeper into the practicality of participation driven communities.  

In Ep 55 we discussed the participatory cities approach and how it has the potential to positively impact communities.  

Today, in Ep 57, we cast our mind back to participatory cities, to hear about this approach in a practical, everyday sense and what it really looks like when introduced to Indigenous communities.

Again, Hamish Lindop also joins us to ask some curious questions and share his thoughts.

If you spend any time researching those that are playing a role between Māori and the Crown, then you’ll soon come across an organisation called Te Arawhiti - the Office for Māori Crown Relations.

Translated, ‘Te Arawhiti’ means ‘the bridge’, and the organisation was established in 2018 by Cabinet to work towards true Treaty partnership.

Our guest today, Lil Anderson, is the Chief Executive of this amazing organisation and she shares her unique view and approach to building true partnership between Māori and the Crown.

Having been thrown into the deep end by Dame Whina Cooper when she was just seven years old, Lil has carried the same purpose and spirit with her through all her years of public service - to speak up and be bolder.

If you’d love to feel more empowered in your place as either Māori or Pākehā, and feel more equipped to ‘cross the bridge’ and find a way to work in true partnership, this episode is essential listening.
