Breaking the Cultural Wounds of Silence

There is a deep embedded wound of silence in our psyche and in our culture. A wound of silence and powerlessness. These two words powerlessness and silence seem to go hand in hand in relation to victims of hideous crimes and the buried stories and secrets which are locked away tightly in closets. It is the polar opposite of what an empowered culture looks like. How can we help ourselves become empowered in a society that’s still holds on tight to these secrets. The wounds inflicted not only affect the victims but also those around them and our future generations.
