Where Do I Belong: An Exploring Identity and Belonging for Bi/cultural bodies [THIS TIME FOR EUROPE]
Welcome to a fresh session of Tending The Roots.
In this episode Karine Bell speaks with Dr Leticia Neito about an upcoming program hosted by The Rooted Global Village called Where Do I Belong: An Exploration of Identity and Belonging for Bi/multicultural bodies - this time, for Europe. It’s a fascinating one. The two of them talk about how this program for bicultural bodies came to be, some of the most interesting learnings that have come out of the last two iterations, and the intriguing role psychodrama has played in participant’s process of self-discovery.
If you’re interested in learning more about this program, the next Where Do I Belong Cohort for EUROPE begins on September 12th. You can register by visiting us at www.rootedglobalvillage.com/belonging-reg-europe
