How to bring healing into system change work - Haumanu practices

This hui is for those who want to go deeper into the ‘how’ of bringing healing into their system change mahi. Many people understand why this is important but struggle with the how. This session will take you experientially through the Āta Model developed via the Centre for Social Impact Haumanu approach, so that you can take these ways of being and practices into your lives and workplaces.

This hui offers you an opportunity to learn how to:

•   Resource yourselves and others to be ‘walking restorers’

•   Build connection and coherence within a group

•   Run a process for a group to collectively feel and integrate a collective trauma or issue to be restored

•   Generate the new and the conditions to bring the new into being

•   Continuously learn about and strengthen your practice

Note: A related hui, Healing Systems and Whole System Collaboration precedes this hui on Tuesday 9 September. You are also welcome to register for this event.
