Spirituality is humanity's endeavour to become a humane and decolonialised collective.

Education and undoing are the spiritual practises needed.

Video 1:  Safeguarding and what actually is spiritual abuse?

Being able to contribute - to be seen, heard & valued, in community - to belong - are fundamental spiritual needs of all humans.

Unfortunately, abusive individuals exist everywhere & that is why education, and safeguarding policy & procedure are essential in ALL groups & communities.

In this video I explain what safeguarding is & why it is a collective responsibility & spiritual act.

I then define what spiritual abuse actually is & how & where it occurs.

Every spiritual path, religion or world view has the same golden rule - ethic of reciprocity - honouring, respecting and valuing all life & bodies, as we do our own.

The golden rule is located in embodiment - the nervous system - (co)regulation and limbic resonance.

Individual choice and action (and regulation)

Followed by critical thinking and appraisal, deconstructing and reconstructing community and societal systems.

Collective choice and action (and coregulation)

Spiritual Needs are Human Needs : Human Needs are Spiritual Needs.

There’s no separation.
