KEY TAKEAWAYS
- We are all connected and consequently what we put out into the world comes back to us, therefore it is important to recognise we shape our realities and the world around us.
- Other people can act as mirrors showing us what we don’t like about ourselves or what we still need to heal. This provides us with an opportunity to learn and grow.
- There is often a balance to be navigated between being one’s authentic self and fitting in with societal expectations.
- It's powerful when you recognize that you can heal yourself and you can help to facilitate other people's healing as well.
- The importance of embracing every day and doing so with love.
BEST MOMENTS
- “Not everybody wants to be helped, not everybody's ready to be helped, and sometimes it's not necessarily our place.”
- “And then the ladies dancing around us, we were like handbags, weren't we, on the dance floor. But I just remember thinking, where else can you do this? You know, who else could you be around? You know, it was just amazing, amazing, magical.”
- “I'd wake up in the night, and I'd have to write something down. And then I'd write something else down. And then the next morning, or weeks later when I went back to it, I think. These are pretty good words. Who wrote these?”
- “I'm so grateful that they're prepared to use some of their life's hours to listen to our creativity.”
- “I sort of was looking at some of his art and I was thinking, wow, this is amazing. I'm going to write to him. You know, nobody writes letters anymore.”
- “He's is the most notorious criminal, if you like, and he's been locked up for, I think it's 48 years now, most of them in solitary confinement. But one of the ways that he learned how to deal with it was doing art.”
- “Wow, I only sent a letter and all of a sudden we've almost been sucked into this gangster thing. And I think, do I want to be a gangster's mob? And then I think, actually, no, not in this lifetime.”
