What It Takes to Heal with Prentis Hemphill
As we emerge from the past few years of collective upheaval, are we ready to face the complexities of our time with joy, authenticity, and connection? Now, more than ever, we must learn to heal ourselves, connect with each other, and embody our values. Join Prentis Hemphill, author of the new book 鈥淲hat It Takes To Heal: How Transforming Ourselves Can Change the World,鈥� in a conversation on the intersection of individual healing and societal transformation. We explore questions of what it means to be well in an increasingly unwell earth and in fractured societies and families. Together we can look for ways that our pursuit of healing can be reparative for ourselves, for our relationships, our communities, and the places where we live.
