Ep. 8 Bariz Shah – on rich learnings; on where we best place our trust; and on where we find peace

from Christchurch Invitation · host Mahia te Aroha

If we cannot dictate what happens to us, our power is in how we choose to respond. From being “played out” by someone he thought of as a friend, Bariz Shah learned to have higher loyalties. Prison offered a disconnect from what was hurting him but systems do not easily forgive or forget. So you look beyond for stronger, enduring points of reference. In Afghanistan after March 2019 with his wife Saba, he experienced people who had real self-acceptance and no victim mindset – "they knew who they were and they liked themselves." In creating 51 micro-businesses to honour those killed on March 15, 2019, Saba and Bariz found one way they could offer hope. In "Beyond Hope: From an Auckland prison to changing lives in Afghanistan" Bariz has documented the journey he has been on. In this podcast he speaks about the journey.
