Singing
Dancing
Prayer
These are three universal embodied forms of healing that the Congolese practice every Sunday. . .The result is pure joy, and a return to the spirit of resilience amidst the turmoil of DRC politics, poverty, rape, violence, and other ravishes of living with civil war.
As pictures often speak so much louder than words, I am sharing with you photos that represent the resilience of the human spirit which were share with my by Certified Embodied Awareness Facilitators Kim Haxton and Meaghan Farquharson, who cofacilitated training programs for Congolese women healing from the ravishes of civil war violence against women.
In Kim’s own words, “sound of 1000 singing and dancing souls”
