    The Colonisation of Wellness: How do we become the change makers in our work?

    Join Steph Magenta & Rebecca Llewellyn for this stimulating conversation about how we can open up our practices and address the wider social concerns in the field of wellbeing work. In this episode we: Discuss the significance of World Indigenous People's Day, and how the ongoing colonisation and displacement of Indigenous peoples around the world is connected to our work in breathwork and wellness. How do we begin to unlearn and decolonise our practice? We reflect on their own journeys of unlearning biases and becoming more conscious about appropriating cultural practices. We speak to the importance of building intercultural relationships, gaining permission, and honoring the roots of traditions before incorporating them into their work. We ruminate on how breathwork can be a tool for positive social impact. We caution against a narrow focus on individual healing without addressing systemic issues. and more...
