For me, this is one of the most important conversations I've ever published. In today's episode, Rosemary Wanganeen shares her personal story of being part of the Stolen Generation, reconnecting with her ancestry, going through a deep grieving process - and ultimately forgiving the atrocities committed on her people. Rosemary Wanganeen is a proud South Australian Aboriginal woman, Kaurna Elder, and founder of the Healing Centre for Griefology. Rosemary believes that grieving and wellbeing are intimately related - and that the health of Australia's future rests in our ability to integrate the losses we have in our nation's history. In this episode, Rosemary explores: • Why indigenous Australians maintained regular grieving ceremonies• The importance of not having the body accumulate "grief energy" • The impact of Plato calling grief "illogical" and a "weakness" • The invitation grief offers for forgiveness and re-kindling spirituality • Whether Australia will ever have a dedicated "Day of Grieving" I believe that nothing will heal the soul of Australia more than allowing the pain of our history to enter into our hearts. By finding ways to integrate this grief, we will free up the energy and creativity for a more compassionate future. I urge you to listen to Rosemary and the messages she has received from her ancestors. It means so much to have you here today. Love, Jono
