We Belong
Collective Belonging is fundamentally a part of our interconnection. It lives within our shared experience as diverse beings coexisting together. Systems of oppression have commodified and rebranded belonging as something external, exclusive, an ideal we must strive for individually.
The truth is, it always exists between us.
Belonging from a collective rather than individual lens…
reorients us beyond I, towards WE
honors indigenous roots of interconnection
is transpersonal & inclusive of all beings
embodies wholeness and integration
disrupts separation and isolation
builds capacity for relating across differences
prioritizes self care while centering collective care
“You cannot change any society… unless you see yourself as belonging to it and responsible for changing it.”
