Day 1 of The Eternal Song gathering Yesterday, Dr. Diana Kopua offered a vital reminder: the language we use to describe pain shapes how we approach healing. In many Indigenous worldviews, the concept of trauma—as something isolated within the individual—misses the deeper relational and ancestral context. To truly heal, we must root our understanding in Indigenous ways of knowing—where harm is held within the web of relationships, and repair is a communal, spiritual, and intergenerational act. This is not just a semantic difference. It’s a doorway to a different way of healing—one that remembers we are never alone, never separate, and never without the guidance of those who came before us. ✨ Join us this week at The Eternal Song 7-day online gathering for more powerful, necessary conversations like this. 🌀 Visit TheEternalSong.org or click the link in bio to register
