House of Healing
From the CouchSurfing Wiki, an informal workspace which anyone can edit.
This is part of the House of Healing at CouchSurfing.
The House of Healing is about healing intercultural wounds--between Iraqis and Americans, Germans and Jews, Blacks and Whites, various indiginous groups and colonists, etc--through facilitating healing interactions and intimate encounters between inheritors of these wounds.
How do we start?
- I don't know.
- Your ideas here.
On a personal level:
- Start by accepting and acknowledging that a wrong has been done (or is still being done) even if you're not personally party to it although your government, nation, ethnic group or whatever was/is.
- Apologise for your nation's, etc actions.
- Don't be frightened to talk about your personal views on the issue. Even if doing so is unpopular with many people. Luna1
