In This Session: Calling all cultural hybrids: If you’ve ever been told, you’re not respectful enough, cultural enough, not married on time, or to “shut up” even when you’re right (or haven't said anything at all), this session is for you:) Culture hurt happens when you’ve “failed” to meet cultural norms or expectations from your culture of origin. It happens for many reasons including: 1) you’re just being you and thought.. that.. was.. ok 2) Couldn't control your life and make it line up according to the schedule, plans, and goals of others in your culture 3) you’ve experienced a normal failure or a setback (like real people do) and your countrypeople looked at you like “Where they do that at?” Obviously the above is tongue in cheek, but you know the pain of being chastised, labeled, or even cut off because you don't fully identify with aspects of your culture of origin. In this session, we will address:
Struggling with having difficult conversation with elders and others in a traditional family
How to deal with being on the other side of groupthink
Having to end or heal from relationships that ended due to parents not agreeing with who you married
Being labeled for not being married or having multiple marriages’
Labeled as cursed because of your family history, a setback you’ve experienced, etc
As with any HeartWork event, we train with a Spirit-led, science -backed perspective. Session is open to women and men, (though emphasis will be on how these issues impact women more). This is a group event- come ready to interact and reflect. You will not be asked to share your specific issue unless you desire to.
