What do we mean by **healing** gatherings?

Similarly to trying to give a comprehensive definition for ‘unconditional’ organizing, trying to define what healing is is out of scope for this project. It is safe to say that what healing is, is highly context-dependent.

We believe that the greatest insight we currently have on healing lies in collective trauma theories. Therefore, we think integrated gatherings with a focus on connection & authenticity are the main target of TIDSUO. However, anything could be a healing gathering. It really is context-dependent.

Examples being:

Meditating with your neighbors.

Authentic relating practices.

Forest yoga classes.

But consider also:

A ‘fun’ event like improvisation theater for a community that lacks fun.

Something incredibly simple like a picknick with the intention to talk about a connecting subject.

A nature festival for a thousand people.
