Much of our language around healing is not about wholeness, but about ableness. Shifting our frame from the ideals of ableism to a deeper understanding of wholeness can help us heal ourselves. This change in perspective also enables us to bear supportive witness to the wholeness of others, whether they are healing by our definition or not.

11/17 Workshop – Access and Inclusion for Neurodivergence

Heather writes, “In this session we will review the range and scope of neurodivergence as well laying the groundwork for understanding what neurodivergent (ND) access and inclusion can include. This workshop supports people with any level of existing knowledge, and addresses both individual growth and institutional considerations.” This interactive session will include time for discussion with other attendees, as well as a Q&A.
